                         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 Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. Thrift Plan as of December 31, 1999 and
1998, 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 auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those 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, 1999 and 1998, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets
held for investment purposes at end of year as of December 31, 1999, is
presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the
financial statements but is supplementary information required by the Department
of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the
responsibility of the Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial
statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in
relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                                December 31, 1999


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The financial statements of Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. (the "Company" and
"Plan Sponsor") Thrift Plan (the "Plan") are prepared using the accrual method
of accounting.

INVESTMENT VALUATION

The Plan's investments in common trust funds are stated at fair value as
established by SunTrust Banks, Inc., the trustee of the Plan's investment
assets, 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.

INVESTMENT INCOME

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded
as earned. Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying
notes. Actual results inevitably will differ from those estimates, and such
differences may be material to the financial statements.

RECLASSIFICATIONS

Certain amounts in the 1998 financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the 1999 presentation.


                                                                               4

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

BENEFIT PAYMENTS

As of December 31, 1999 and 1998, approximately $680,000 and $422,000,
respectively, of benefit payments 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 (the "Code"). The following description of the Plan
provides only general information. Further information about the Plan 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.

GENERAL

Any employee of 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.

CONTRIBUTIONS

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 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. Additional amounts may be contributed at the
option of the Company's Board of Directors.

PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution and
allocations of the Company's contribution and Plan earnings.


                                                                               5

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


2. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS (CONTINUED)

Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances, as defined in
the Plan agreement. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the
benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account.

VESTING

Participants are immediately vested in their contributions plus actual earnings
thereon. Vesting in the employer 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.

Forfeitures of employer contributions are used to offset employer matching
contributions for the same and/or future Plan years. Forfeited non-vested
accounts of approximately $111,000 and $85,000 were used to reduce employer
contributions during the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

All amounts credited to a participant's accounts are distributed with no
forfeiture upon termination of employment for death, total disability,
retirement at age 65, or after completion of five or more years of service.

3. INCOME TAX STATUS

The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
dated June 21, 1996, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of
the Code and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once
qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to
maintain its qualification. The Plan administrator believes the Plan is being
operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and,
therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax
exempt.
