                         Report of Independent Auditors


Employee Benefits Committee of
Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. Thrift Plan as of December 31, 1996 and
1995, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits
for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. These standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules of Assets
Held for Investment Purposes as of December 31, 1996, and Reportable
Transactions for the year then ended, are presented for purposes of complying
with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are
not a required part of the financial statements. The supplemental schedules have
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the 1996
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the 1996 financial statements taken as a whole.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

The Plan's investments are stated at aggregate fair value. Fair value of
investments in SunTrust Bank common trust funds are based on the fair values of
the underlying securities. Securities traded on a national securities exchange
are valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the
year. For investments in securities that do not have an established market, the
trustee establishes a fair value for such securities. Purchases and sales of
investments are recorded on a trade-date basis.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles requires the use of estimates by management. Actual
results could vary from such estimates; however, management is not presently
aware of any events which would cause such differences.

WITHDRAWALS

As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, $146,829 and $71,487, respectively, of
withdrawals to be paid to participants is included in net assets available for
benefits.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The Plan is a "qualified cash or deferred arrangement" plan under Section 401(k)
of the Internal Revenue Code. Such an employee benefit plan is generally known
as a 401(k) plan.

Any employee of Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. (the Company) who attains 21
years of age, completes three months of eligibility service and who is not a
member of a collective bargaining unit (unless there is a written agreement
providing for this participation) can become a participant in the Plan.
Participation is voluntary and eligible employees may elect to defer up to 16%
of their compensation through payroll deductions, subject to statutory
limitations. The Company matches employee




                                                                              4

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

contributions at the rate of 50% for all contributions up to and including 2%,
and 25% for all contributions between 3% and 6% of each participant's annual
compensation. All contributions are remitted to the Plan monthly.

Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employer and employee
contributions in 10% increments in any of six investment options. The Money
Market fund invests in U.S. Treasuries and other obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government or government agencies. The Bond Fund invests
in Treasury and agency obligations issued by the U.S. Government, its agencies
or instrumentalities. The Equity Growth fund and the Equity Income fund invest
primarily in common stocks of large, well-established companies. The Haverty's
Stock fund invests in the common stock of Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc.
purchased in the open market. The Balanced Fund invests in common stocks of
large, well-established companies and fixed income securities.

Earnings of the plan are allocated to participants based on account holdings at
the beginning of the quarter plus one third of contributions made in that
quarter. All administrative expenses are paid by the Plan sponsor.

Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings
thereon. These accounts totaled $20,142,516 and $17,258,335 at December 31, 1996
and 1995, respectively. Vesting in the Company contribution portion of their
accounts plus actual earnings thereon is based on the number of years of service
with the Company, including any years of service when the participant was
eligible and did not participate in the Plan. A participant is 100 percent
vested after five years of credited service.

All amounts credited to a participant's accounts are distributed with no
forfeiture upon termination of employment for the following reasons:
participant's death, total disability, retirement at age 65, or completion of
five or more years of service. Forfeitures of employer contributions are used to
offset employer matching contributions for the same and/or future plan year.

Further information about the Plan Agreement is contained in the Summary Plan
Description Your 401(k) Thrift Plan. Copies of this booklet are available at the
Company's Human Resources office.

3. INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service ruled on June 21, 1996 that the Plan qualifies
under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and the Trust
established thereunder is exempt from tax under IRC Section 501(a). The plan
administrator is not aware of any course of action or series of events that have
occurred that might adversely affect the Plan's qualified status.

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST

At December 31, 1996 and 1995, the Plan held 182,229 and 165,100 shares of
Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. Common Stock, respectively. The fair value of
this stock at December 31, 1996 and 1995 was $2,072,855 and $2,290,763,
respectively.
