and Consent Solicitation
High Point, North Carolina; March 24, 1999 - LifeStyle Furnishings
International Ltd. ("LFI") announced today that LFI has amended the terms of
its previously announced tender offer and consent solicitation for its 10 7/8%
Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 (the "Notes"). As more fully described in
the supplement to the offer to purchase, LFI has waived the condition to the
offer that it consummate an initial public offering (and no such offering will
be consummated prior to the scheduled expiration of the offer), but the offer
remains subject to certain other conditions. The consideration provided for in
the offer remains unchanged.
The amended offer will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Thursday,
April 8, 1999, unless extended. The consent date is April 8, 1999.
Holders of Notes who have previously tendered their Notes need take no action
in order to accept the amended offer. Tendered Notes may be withdrawn and
consents may be revoked at any time on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City
time, on April 8, 1999 (unless the offer is extended), but not thereafter.

consent solicitation, as well as copies of the supplement to the offer to
