Puts this back as they finish getting contents for house, which is fantastic (10)

I believe the answer is:

stupendous

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'is fantastic' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'puts this back as they finish getting contents for house' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'puts' is 'stup' which is within the answer.
'back' could be 'end' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'end' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ous' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'which' acts as a link.
