                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

    GENERAL  DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS.   The Company was  incorporated in 1901 as
the successor  to a  partnership  formed in  1883  at Carthage,  Missouri.  That
partnership  was a pioneer in the manufacture and sale of steel coil bedsprings.
Products produced and sold for  the furnishings industry constitute the  largest
portion  of the Company's  business. These include  primarily components used by
companies making furniture and bedding for homes, offices and institutions. Also
in the furnishings area, the Company produces and sells some finished  furniture
and carpet cushioning materials. In addition, a group of diversified products is
produced  and sold. The Company believes it is the largest producer of a diverse
range of  furniture  and bedding  components  in  the United  States.  The  term
"Company,"  unless the  context requires otherwise,  refers to  Leggett & Platt,
Incorporated and its majority owned subsidiaries.

    The Company completed several acquisitions during 1993, primarily businesses
engaged in  manufacturing  components  for  the  furnishings  industry  and  raw
materials used by the Company in the manufacture of its products.

    In  September  1993 the  Company acquired  Hanes Holding  Company ("Hanes"),
headquartered in  Winston-Salem,  North  Carolina.  Hanes  is  a  converter  and
distributor  of  woven  and  nonwoven  construction  fabrics,  primarily  in the
furnishings industry.  Hanes also  is a  commission dye/finisher  of  nonfashion
fabrics  for the furnishings  and apparel industries.  Immediately following the
Company's acquisition  of  Hanes,  the Company  (through  Hanes)  completed  the
acquisition  of VWR  Textiles & Supplies,  Inc., which  converts and distributes
woven and  nonwoven  construction  fabrics and  manufactures  other  soft  goods
components for sale to manufacturers of furniture and bedding.

    Also,  in September 1993 the Company acquired full ownership of several wire
drawing mills which had been previously jointly owned.

    For further information concerning acquisitions reference is made to Note  B
of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

    PRODUCTS  AND MARKET.   The Company is engaged  primarily in the manufacture
and distribution of components used by companies that manufacture furniture  and
bedding for homes, offices and institutions. Manufacturers of finished furniture
and  bedding  use  many  component  parts which  can  be  standardized  and more
efficiently produced  in  volumes  beyond  the individual  needs  of  most  such
manufacturers.  It is this  market for component parts  which the Company serves
through its furniture and bedding component product lines.

    The Company's  components  customers  manufacture  bedding  (mattresses  and
boxsprings),  upholstered  furniture and  other  finished products  for  sale to
wholesalers, retailers, institutions and  others. Historically, the  furnishings
industry   has  been  highly  fragmented  and  included  many  relatively  small
companies, widely  dispersed geographically.  Although there  has been  a  trend
toward  consolidation  in  the furnishings  industry,  the industry  as  a whole
remains fragmented to a substantial degree.

    The Company's component products are sold and distributed primarily  through
the Company's sales personnel.

    In  addition  to components,  the  Company manufactures  and  sells finished
products  for  the  furnishings   industry.  These  finished  products   include
sleep-related  finished furniture and  carpet cushioning materials.  Some of the
finished furniture  products are  sold to  bedding and  furniture  manufacturers
which  resell the  finished furniture under  their own labels  to wholesalers or
retailers. Certain finished furniture such as bed frames, fashion beds,  daybeds
and  other select items are also sold  by the Company directly to retailers. The
Company's carpet  cushioning  materials are  sold  primarily to  floor  covering
distributors with some direct contract sales.

</TABLE>

    Reference  is also  made to  Note I of  the Notes  to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further segment information.

    The Company's international division  is involved primarily  in the sale  of
machinery  and  equipment  designed to  manufacture  the  Company's Mira-Coil-R-
(Continuous Coil)  innersprings  and  certain  other  spring  products  and  the
licensing  of patents owned and presently maintained  by the Company in a number
of foreign  countries. The  Company  also sells  quilting machines  and  similar
equipment  and  certain  other  component products  in  some  foreign countries.
Foreign sales are a minor portion of the Company's business.

                                       3
<PAGE>
    CUSTOMERS.  The Company  has several thousand customers,  most of which  are
engaged  in manufacturing finished  bedding and furniture  products. None of the
Company's customers account  for as much  as 10% of  sales and, in  management's
opinion,  the loss  of any  single customer  would not  have a  material adverse
effect on the Company's business as a whole.

    SOURCES OF RAW MATERIALS.   Steel rod (from which  steel wire is drawn)  and
coil  steel are the Company's most  important raw materials. Other raw materials
used by the Company include aluminum  ingot, aluminum scrap, angle steel,  sheet
steel,  various  woods, textile  scrap, foam  chemicals,  foam scrap,  woven and
nonwoven fabrics and plastic.

    Substantially all of the Company's requirements for steel wire, an important
component in many of the Company's products, are supplied by Company-owned  wire
drawing mills. A substantial portion of the steel rod used by these wire drawing
mills  is purchased pursuant  to a rod  supply agreement with  a major steel rod
producer.  The  Company  also  produces,  at  various  locations,  for  its  own
consumption and for sale to customers not affiliated with the Company, slit coil
steel, welded steel tubing, textile fibers, dimension lumber and aluminum ingot.

    Numerous  supply  sources for  the  raw materials  used  by the  Company are
available. The  Company did  not  experience any  significant shortages  of  raw
materials during the past year.

    PATENTS:  RESEARCH  AND DEVELOPMENT.    The Company  holds  numerous patents
concerning its various product  lines. No single patent  or group of patents  is
material  to the Company's  business as a whole.  The Company's more significant
trademarks include those listed with the Company's principal products.

    The Company maintains research, engineering and testing centers at Carthage,
Missouri, and also does  research and development work  at several of its  other
facilities.  The Company is  unable to precisely calculate  the cost of research
and  development  since  the  personnel   involved  in  product  and   machinery
development  also  spend portions  of their  time in  other areas.  However, the
Company believes  that the  cost  of research  and development  approximated  $5
million in each of the last three years.

    EMPLOYEES.     The  Company  has  approximately  13,000  employees  of  whom
approximately 10,000  are  engaged  in  production.  Approximately  40%  of  the
Company's production employees are represented by labor unions.

    The  Company did  not experience any  material work stoppage  related to the
negotiation of contracts with labor unions during 1993. Management is not  aware
of  any  circumstance which  is likely  to  result in  a material  work stoppage
related to the negotiations of any contracts expiring during 1994.

    COMPETITION.   The markets  for components  and other  products the  Company
produces  are highly  competitive in all  aspects. There  are numerous companies
offering products which compete with those products offered by the Company.  The
Company  believes it is the  largest supplier in the  United States of a diverse
range of furniture and bedding components to the furnishings industry.

    GOVERNMENT REGULATION.   The  Company's various  operations are  subject  to
federal,  state, and local laws and regulations related to the protection of the
environment, worker safety, and other matters. Environmental regulations include
those relating  to air  and water  emissions, underground  storage tanks,  waste
handling,  and the like. While the Company  cannot forecast policies that may be
adopted by various regulatory agencies, management believes that compliance with
these various laws and  regulations will not have  a material adverse effect  on
the  consolidated financial condition  or results of  operations of the Company.
From time to time, the Company is involved in proceedings, or takes remedial  or
other  actions, relating to  environmental matters. In  one instance, the United
States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") has directed one of the Company's
subsidiaries to  investigate potential  releases into  the environment  and,  if
necessary,  to  perform corrective  action.  The subsidiary  appealed  the EPA's
action.  On   February   4,   1994,  the   EPA   Environmental   Appeals   Board

                                       4
<PAGE>
remanded  the matter to the  EPA for further proceedings.  One-half of any costs
associated with any such investigation or corrective action would be  reimbursed
to  the Company under  a contractual obligation  of a former  joint owner of the
subsidiary.  The  outcome  of  this  matter  cannot  be  reasonably   predicted.
Accordingly,  no provision for the cost of performing any required investigation
and corrective action has been recorded on the books of the Company.  Management
believes  the  cost  to  perform any  investigation  and  corrective  action, if
eventually required, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
financial condition or results of operations of the Company.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

    The Company  owns  or leases  approximately  150 facilities  throughout  the
United  States and  Canada. Its corporate  headquarters is  located in Carthage,
Missouri. The  Company's most  important physical  properties are  its owned  or
leased  manufacturing plants.  Such plants  include five  wire drawing  mills in
Missouri, Florida,  Kentucky, Indiana  and  Massachusetts; welded  steel  tubing
mills  in Mississippi and Tennessee; and  an aluminum smelting plant in Alabama.
All of these mills manufacture some products which are either transferred to and
used by the Company's other manufacturing  plants, or are sold to others.  Other
major  manufacturing  plants  are  located  in  Alabama,  Arkansas,  California,
Georgia, Illinois,  Indiana,  Kentucky,  Massachusetts,  Michigan,  Mississippi,
Missouri,  North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania,  Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin, and
Canada. In  addition,  the  Company owns  or  leases  a large  number  of  other
facilities  located  in approximately  30 states  utilized mainly  for assembly,
warehousing and distribution of Company products.

    Most of the Company's major manufacturing plants are owned by the Company or
are held under operating  leases. Leases expire at  various dates through  2010.
For  additional information  regarding lease  obligations, reference  is made to
Note E of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

    The Company's  machinery, equipment  and buildings  are maintained  in  good
condition and are suitable for its current operations.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

    The   Company  is  a  defendant   in  numerous  ordinary,  routine  workers'
compensation, product liability, vehicle  accident, employment termination,  and
other  claims and legal proceedings, the resolution of which Management believes
will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial  condition
or results of operations of the Company.

    The  Company is presently party to a  small number of proceedings in which a
governmental  authority  is  a  party  and  which  involve  provisions   enacted
regulating  the discharge of  materials into the  environment. These proceedings
deal primarily with  waste disposal site  remediation. Management believes  that
potential  monetary sanctions, if imposed in any or all of these proceedings, or
any  capital   expenditures  or   operating  expenses   attributable  to   these
proceedings,  will  not  have  a material  adverse  effect  on  the consolidated

that two of the Company's  facilities in Grafton, Wisconsin violated  wastewater
pretreatment  requirements under the Clean Water  Act. No action is pending. The
EPA has not requested any specific relief, but has indicated it intends to bring
an action. Management believes the cost to  resolve this matter will not have  a

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
       AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    The  Company's previously issued financial  statements have been restated to
reflect pooling of interests  acquisitions. Therefore, the following  discussion
and  analysis reflects the Company's capital resources and liquidity and results
of operations as restated for these acquisitions.

                                       6
<PAGE>
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

    The Company's financial position  reflects several important principles  and
guidelines  of management's  capital policy.  These include  management's belief
that corporate  liquidity  must always  be  adequate to  support  the  Company's
projected  internal  growth  rate.  At  the  same  time,  liquidity  must assure
management that the Company  will be able to  withstand any amount of  financial
adversity  that can reasonably be anticipated. Management also intends to direct
capital to strategic acquisitions and other investments that provide  additional
opportunities for expansion and enhanced profitability.

    Financial planning to meet these needs reflects management's belief that the
Company  should never be forced to expand its capital resources, whether debt or
equity, at a time not of  its choosing. Management also believes that  financial
flexibility  is more important  than maximization of  earnings through excessive
leverage.

    The Company's primary  source of capital  to meet these  objectives is  from
internally generated funds. Operating activities provided $349.1 million in cash
during  the last three years.  An additional $3.5 million  in cash was generated
from the issuance  of the  Company's common stock.  Cash dividends  paid on  the
stock  were $57.2  million and repurchases  of stock for  the Company's treasury
totaled $3.2 million during the three year period.

    Management continuously  provides  for available  credit  in excess  of  the
Company's worst-case projections. Policy guidelines provide that long-term debt,
composed  of two "layers", will normally be maintained  in a range of 30% to 40%
of total capitalization.  Obligations having scheduled  maturities are the  base
"layer"  of debt capital. At  the end of 1993,  these obligations totaled $122.3
million, consisting  primarily  of  privately  placed  institutional  loans  and
tax-exempt industrial development bonds. At the end of 1992, debt with scheduled
maturities  totaled $112.5  million, which was  down from $135.4  million a year
earlier.

    Near the end of the third quarter of 1993, the Company issued $50 million in
unsecured privately placed debt  under a medium-term  note program. These  notes
were  issued with average  lives of approximately nine  years and fixed interest
rates averaging  5.8%. Debt  of a  company acquired  in a  September pooling  of
interests  transaction was repaid  with the majority of  the proceeds from these
notes. In 1992, the Company also issued approximately $26 million of medium-term
notes near the  beginning of the  fourth quarter. These  notes were issued  with
average  lives of  approximately five years  and fixed  interest rates averaging
6.15%. Proceeds  from  the  notes  issued  in  1992  were  used  to  repay  debt
outstanding under the Company's revolving bank credit agreements.

    Standard & Poor's and Moody's, the nations two leading debt rating agencies,
both increased their ratings of the Company's senior debt in July 1992. Standard
&  Poor's increased its rating to A- from BBB+, and Moody's increased its rating
to A3 from Baa1. In March 1992, substantially  all of the $40 million of 6  1/2%
convertible  subordinated debentures, which  had been outstanding  at the end of
1991, were converted into 2.1 million shares of the Company's common stock.  The
resulting increase in shareholders' equity enhanced the Company's flexibility in
capital management and increased yearly after-tax cash flow by approximately $.7
million.

    The  Company's second "layer"  of debt capital  consists of revolving credit
agreements with six  banks. Over  the years, management  has renegotiated  these
bank  credit agreements to keep pace with  the Company's projected growth and to
maintain a highly  flexible source of  debt capital. When  utilized, the  credit
under these agreements is a long-term obligation. At the same time, however, the
credit is available for short-term borrowings and repayments. In 1993, there was
$43.5  million in  revolving debt outstanding  at the  end of the  year, up from
$35.4 million in 1992. At the end  of 1991, $97.3 million in revolving debt  was
outstanding.  The 1993 increase  in revolving debt reflected  a portion of funds
borrowed to  finance cash  acquisitions  in the  third  quarter. In  the  fourth
quarter  of  1993 and  prior  to recent  acquisitions,  revolving bank  debt was
reduced with internally  generated funds. Additional  details of long-term  debt
outstanding,  including  scheduled  maturities  and  the  revolving  credit, are
discussed in Note D of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

                                       7
<PAGE>
    Net capital  investments  to  modernize and  expand  manufacturing  capacity
internally  totaled $109.0 million in the  last three years. During this period,
acquisitions accounted for by the purchase  method of accounting involved a  net
cash  investment  of  $93.3  million,  plus an  assumption  of  $5.7  million in
long-term debt of the acquired businesses.  In addition, the Company issued  1.8
million  shares of common stock in  three acquisitions accounted for as poolings
of interests during this period.

    The largest acquisitions were completed during the third quarter of 1993. On
September 1, the Company acquired Hanes  Holding Company for 1.6 million  shares
of  common  stock, in  a  pooling of  interests,  and purchased  VWR  Textiles &
Supplies, Inc.  (through  Hanes) for  $26  million  in cash.  The  Company  also
purchased  full ownership  of several wire  drawing mills,  which previously had
been jointly owned. This transaction  involved $33 million, plus the  assumption
of  $3.6  million  in long-term  debt.  Additional details  of  acquisitions are
discussed in Note B of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

    The following table shows, in millions, the Company's capitalization at  the
end  of the  three most  recent years.  It also  shows the  amount of additional
capital available through the revolving bank credit agreements and the Company's
commercial paper program. The amount of cash and cash equivalents is also shown.

    The Company has the additional availability of short-term uncommitted credit
from several banks. However, there was no short-term debt outstanding at the end
of any of the last three years. The Company has substantial capital resources to
support additional capital investments at or above recent levels.

    Working capital increased  $32.5 million in  the last three  years. To  gain
additional  flexibility in capital management and  to improve the rate of return
on shareholders' equity, the Company continuously seeks efficient use of working
capital. The  following table  shows  the annual  turnover on  average  year-end

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    The results  of  operations during  the  last three  years  reflect  various
elements  of the Company's long-term growth  strategy, along with general trends
in the  economy and  the  furnishings industry.  The Company's  growth  strategy
continues  to  include both  internal programs  and acquisitions,  which broaden
product lines  and  provide  for  increased  market  penetration  and  operating
efficiencies.  With a continuing emphasis on the development of new and improved
products and  advancements in  production  technology, the  Company is  able  to
consistently offer high quality products, competitively priced.

    Trends  in the  general economy  were favorable  during the  last two years.
Economic growth increased in the fourth  quarter of 1993, following more  modest
growth  during most of the year. Consumer  confidence also improved near the end
of the  year,  and final  demand  for  durable goods,  including  furniture  and
bedding,  generally  remained stronger  than the  demand for  non-durable goods.
Consumers reacted  favorably to  lower long-term  interest rates  and  increased
availability of credit. In 1992, a post-election recovery in consumer confidence
quickly  led  to  increased  consumer spending  and  accelerated  growth  in the
economy. However, compared with previous first year recoveries from recessionary
lows, economic improvement  was modest  during most  of 1992.  During 1991,  the
economy  began to recover from recessionary lows early in the year, when the war
in the Middle East ended and consumer confidence temporarily improved.  Consumer
confidence  soon  turned back  down and  the pace  of overall  business remained
depressed at the end of 1991.

    Demand in the furnishings industry followed a pattern similar to the general
economy during  the  last  three  years.  Annual  growth  in  retail  sales  and
manufacturers'  shipments of bedding and furniture was somewhat stronger in 1993
than in 1992. Increased  consumer spending near  the end of  the last two  years
helped offset some of the seasonal slowdown in demand for bedding, furniture and
other furnishings the industry normally experiences. In 1991, industry sales and
shipments  reached recessionary lows in the  first quarter, and recovered slowly
during the remainder of the year.

    Management is  anticipating further  modest growth  in the  economy and  the
markets  the Company  serves in 1994.  Severe winter weather  and the California
earthquake have impacted overall business activity at the beginning of the year,
in several  parts of  the  country. However,  these are  temporary  adversities.
Management  is cautious in its outlook for business generally, primarily because
of concerns about  higher income  tax rates, proposals  for governmental  health
care programs, and inflationary trends.

    Inflation  in the  United States generally  remained modest  during the last
three years. However, the  Company experienced renewed  inflation in prices  for
raw  materials,  principally  steel  and  wire,  throughout  1993.  Modest price
increases were implemented on some Company products during the second and  third
quarters of 1993 to help offset earlier cost increases and the renewed inflation
in  prices for raw materials.  However, some of this  inflation has not yet been
reflected in the Company's selling prices. Therefore, the Company is  continuing
to  experience  cost/price pressures  in affected  product  lines. In  1992, the
Company was able to refrain from  raising prices, as previously weaker  economic
conditions  had  reduced  inflation for  most  raw materials.  During  1991, the
Company implemented  modest  price increases  on  some products  in  the  second
quarter.  Prices for  urethane foam  products were  raised more  than others, in
response to the 1990 acceleration in prices for petrochemicals.

    The Company's consolidated net sales in 1991 were modestly reduced after the
mid-year divestiture of certain urethane foam operations. At the same time,  the
Company's   profitability  improved  through  the  partial  elimination  of  the
operating losses these operations experienced in 1990. The operating results  of
the  Company's restructured Fashion Bed  Group, which manufactures sleep-related
finished furniture, also began  to improve near  the end of  1992. In 1993,  the
Company's overall profitability reflected improved efficiencies in the remaining
foam  operations. The Fashion  Bed Group also  attained improved efficiencies in
1993, but continues to perform below management's expectations.

    The Company's consolidated net  sales in 1993 increased  16% over the  prior
year.  Excluding acquisitions accounted  for as purchases,  sales increased 10%,
reflecting higher unit volumes and modestly  higher prices on some products.  In
1992,  consolidated net  sales increased  8% over  1991, due  almost entirely to
higher unit volumes.  Sales, excluding purchase  acquisitions and  divestitures,
also increased 8% in 1992.

</TABLE>

    The  Company's profit margins, like sales,  continued to improve since 1991.
In 1993,  the  gross  profit  margin  was  substantially  unchanged  from  1992.
Operating  efficiencies  resulting  from increased  sales  and  production, cost
cutting, and  constant attention  to  cost containment  were largely  offset  by
inflation  in prices for some key raw materials. Reflecting this inflation, LIFO
expense reduced the gross profit margin by 0.2% in 1993. This experience was  in
contrast  to the previous  two years, when LIFO  income slightly increased gross
profit margins. The replacement cost of the LIFO inventory is discussed in  Note
A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

    The  1993 pre-tax profit margin increased to 9.2% of sales. This improvement
primarily reflected a 0.7% reduction in selling, distribution and administrative
expenses, as a percentage of sales. Increased efficiencies and reduced bad  debt
expense  contributed  to  the  improvement in  operating  expense  ratios. These
factors and a slight increase in other income more than offset one time  charges
related   to  recent  acquisitions  and  the  Company's  implementation  of  new
accounting statements issued  by the Financial  Accounting Standards Board.  The
new   accounting  statements  are  mentioned  separately  at  the  end  of  this
discussion, and in Note A of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

    Interest expense, as  a percentage of  sales, was reduced  0.4% in 1993  and
further  improved the  pre-tax profit  margin. Reduced  debt outstanding (before
recent  acquisitions)  and   lower  interest  rates   were  reflected  in   this
improvement.

    The  effective income tax rate was 39.1% in  1993, up from 38.5% in 1992. In
the third quarter  of 1993, corporate  federal income tax  rates were  increased
from  34% to 35%, retroactive  to January 1, 1993.  Additional details of income
taxes for  the  last three  years  are  discussed in  Note  H of  the  Notes  to
Consolidated Financial Statements.

    In  1992, the  gross profit  margin increased to  22.8% of  sales. This 1.4%
increase over 1991 primarily reflected an improvement in operating  efficiencies
and earlier cost cutting at many locations.

    The  1992 pre-tax profit margin  increased to 8.1% of  sales. In addition to
the improvement in the gross profit margin, the pre-tax margin benefitted from a
0.7% reduction  in  selling,  distribution and  administrative  expenses,  as  a
percentage  of  sales.  Improved  operating efficiencies  and  reduced  bad debt
expense were reflected in the lower 1992 operating expense ratios.

    Interest expense, as  a percentage of  sales, was reduced  0.6% in 1992  and
further  improved the pre-tax profit margin.  Reduced debt outstanding and lower
interest rates both contributed to this improvement, which was partially  offset
by  an increase  in other  deductions, net  of other  income. The  1992 earnings
contribution from associated (50% owned) companies was down modestly from 1991.

STATEMENTS OF FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED

    The Company  adopted  three accounting  statements  in 1993  issued  by  the
Financial  Accounting Standards Board. The  new statements included Statement of
Financial Accounting  Standards  (SFAS)  No.  106,  "Employers'  Accounting  for
Postretirement  Benefits  Other Than  Pensions;" SFAS  No. 109,  "Accounting for
Income Taxes;"  and  SFAS No.  112,  "Employers' Accounting  for  Postemployment

                                       10

Benefits."  The  Company fully  expensed  any previously  unrecorded liabilities
related  to  these  accounting  statements  in  1993.  The  Company's  financial
statements, contrary to those of many other companies, have not been impacted in
any  significant way by the implementation of  the new accounting rules. All new
accounting statements issued  by the Financial  Accounting Standards Board  that
could impact the Company were fully implemented by the end of 1993.

              (DOLLAR AMOUNTS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)
                        DECEMBER 31, 1993, 1992 AND 1991

A -- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    PRINCIPLES  OF CONSOLIDATION:  The consolidated financial statements include
the  accounts  of   Leggett  &  Platt,   Incorporated  and  its   majority-owned
subsidiaries (the Company). The Company's previously issued financial statements
have  been restated to reflect pooling of interests acquisitions as discussed in
Note B.  All  significant  intercompany  transactions  and  accounts  have  been
eliminated in consolidation.

    CASH  EQUIVALENTS:    Cash  equivalents  include  cash  in  excess  of daily
requirements which is invested in various financial instruments with  maturities
of three months or less.

    INVENTORIES:   All inventories  are stated at  the lower of  cost or market.
Cost includes materials, labor  and production overhead.  Cost is determined  by
the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method for approximately 70% of the inventories at
December  31, 1993 and 1992.  The first-in, first-out (FIFO)  method is used for
the remainder.  The FIFO  cost of  inventories  at December  31, 1993  and  1992
approximated replacement cost.

    DEPRECIATION  AND  AMORTIZATION:   Property, plant  and equipment  and other
intangibles are depreciated or amortized over their estimated lives, principally
by the straight-line method. Accelerated methods are used for tax purposes.  The
excess  cost of purchased companies over net assets acquired is amortized by the
straight-line method over forty years.

    COMPUTATIONS OF EARNINGS  PER SHARE:   Earnings per  share is  based on  the
weighted  average  number of  common and  common equivalent  shares outstanding.
Common stock equivalents result from the assumed issuance of shares under  stock
option plans.

    CONCENTRATION  OF CREDIT  RISK:   The Company  specializes in manufacturing,
marketing and  distributing  components  and  other  related  products  for  the
furnishings  industry  and  diversified markets.  The  Company  performs ongoing
credit evaluations  of  its  customers'  financial  conditions  and,  generally,
requires  no collateral from its customers,  some of which are highly leveraged.
The Company maintains  allowances for  potential credit losses  and such  losses
generally have been within management's expectations.

    FAIR  VALUE OF FINANCIAL  INSTRUMENTS:  The carrying  value of the Company's
financial instruments approximates market value.

    ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ADOPTED:   During 1993, the  Company adopted three  new
statements  issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. These statements
were: 1) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits  Other Than Pensions;"  2) SFAS No.  109,
"Accounting  for Income Taxes;" and 3)  SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits."  The  adoption of  these  statements did  not  have  a
material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

    RECLASSIFICATIONS:   Certain reclassifications  have been made  to the prior
years' consolidated financial statements to conform to the 1993 presentation.

B -- ACQUISITIONS
    In September 1993, the  Company issued 1,579,354 shares  of common stock  to
acquire  Hanes  Holding Company  (Hanes)  in a  transaction  accounted for  as a
pooling of interests. Options to purchase an additional 45,743 shares of  common
stock  were also extended by the Company in substitution for previously existing
options. Hanes'  business  consists of  converting  and distributing  woven  and
nonwoven  construction  fabrics,  primarily  in  the  furnishings  industry.  In
addition, Hanes is a

commission dye/finisher of non-fashion fabrics  for the furnishings and  apparel
industries.  In  another pooling  of interests  transaction, the  Company issued
68,788  shares  of  common  stock  to  acquire  a  company  whose  business   is
manufacturing  furniture  components  for the  furnishings  industry. Previously
issued financial statements have been restated to reflect the poolings. Separate
results of operations for the years ended  December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991  are
as follows:

    In  September  1993,  the Company  acquired  VWR Textiles  &  Supplies, Inc.
(through  Hanes)  which  converts  and  distributes  construction  fabrics   and
manufactures  and  distributes other  soft goods  components to  the furnishings
industry. The purchase price of  this acquisition was approximately $26.0.  Also
in 1993, the Company acquired full ownership of several wire drawing mills which
previously  had been jointly owned. This  transaction involved $33.0 in cash and
the assumption of approximately $3.6 of long term debt. In addition, the Company
acquired several smaller companies during  1993 which primarily manufacture  and
distribute  products to  the furnishings  industry. The  following unaudited pro
forma information shows the results of  operations for the years ended  December
31, 1993 and 1992 as though the 1993 acquisitions accounted for as purchases had
occurred  on January 1 of  each year presented. These  pro forma amounts reflect
purchase accounting adjustments, interest on incremental borrowings and the  tax
effects  thereof.  This  pro  forma  financial  information  is  not necessarily
indicative of either  results of  operations that  would have  occurred had  the
purchases  been made  on January  1 of  each year  or of  future results  of the
combined companies.

    During 1992,  the Company  acquired the  assets of  one small  company  that
primarily  manufactures  bedding and  furniture  components for  the furnishings
industry. The  purchase  price  of  this  acquisition  was  approximately  $5.8.
Assuming  this acquisition had occurred  at the beginning of  the year, it would
not have had a material impact on net sales, net earnings or earnings per share.

    Also during 1992, the Company acquired a business accounted for as a pooling
of  interests.  The  business  primarily  manufactures  bedding  and   furniture
components  for the furnishings industry. In exchange for all of the outstanding
capital stock of the business, the  Company issued 100,903 shares of its  common
stock.  The Company elected not to  restate prior year's financial statements as
the effect was immaterial.

    During 1991, the  Company acquired the  assets of two  small companies  that
primarily  manufacture  bedding  and furniture  components  for  the furnishings
industry. The  purchase price  of these  acquisitions was  approximately  $10.0.
Assuming  these acquisitions  had occurred  at the  beginning of  the year, they
would not have had a material impact on net sales, net earnings or earnings  per
share.

B -- ACQUISITIONS (CONTINUED)
    The  above acquisitions,  except for the  1993 and 1992  poolings, have been
accounted for  as purchases,  and, where  applicable, the  excess of  the  total
acquisition  cost  over the  fair  value of  the  net assets  acquired  is being
amortized  by  the  straight-line  method  over  forty  years.  The  results  of
operations  of these companies since the dates of acquisition have been included
in the consolidated financial statements.

    The purchase prices as originally reported represent the initial amounts  of
cash  and common stock  of the Company  issued at the  time of the acquisitions.
Some purchase  agreements also  contain provisions  for additional  payments  if
certain  minimum  earnings requirements  are  met. All  such  provisions expired
during 1993. Amounts earned  under the terms of  the agreements are recorded  as
increases in the excess of the total acquisition cost over the fair value of the
net  assets acquired. Such additional payments  were approximately $6.4 and $2.7
during 1993 and 1992, respectively.

D -- LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)
    The revolving credit  agreements provide  for a  maximum line  of credit  of
$160.0.  For  any  revolving credit  agreement,  the  Company may  elect  to pay
interest based on  1) the bank's  base lending  rate, 2) LIBOR,  3) an  adjusted
certificate  of deposit rate, or  4) the money market  rate, as specified in the
revolving agreements. Any outstanding balances at  the end of the third year  of
the  revolving credit agreements may be converted into term loans payable in ten
equal semi-annual installments. Commitment  fees during the revolving  agreement
period  are  3/16 of  1%  per annum  of  the unused  credit  line, payable  on a
quarterly basis.

    The revolving credit  agreements and  certain other  long-term debt  contain
restrictive  covenants  which, among  other  restrictions, limit  the  amount of
additional debt, require working capital  to be maintained at specified  amounts
and restrict payments of dividends. Unrestricted retained earnings available for
dividends at December 31, 1993 were approximately $137.1.

    Maturities of long-term debt for each of the five years following 1993 are:

    The  Company  has also  authorized shares  for  issuance in  connection with
certain employee stock benefit plans discussed in Note G.

    In 1989, the Company declared a dividend distribution of one preferred stock
purchase right (a Right) for each share of common stock. The Rights are attached
to and  traded with  the Company's  common  stock. The  Rights may  only  become
exercisable   under   certain  circumstances   involving  actual   or  potential
acquisitions of the Company's common stock. Depending upon the circumstances, if
the Rights become exercisable, the holder may be entitled to purchase shares  of
Series  A junior preferred stock of the  Company, shares of the Company's common
stock or shares of common  stock of the acquiring  entity. The Rights remain  in
existence  until  February 15,  1999, unless  they  are exercised,  exchanged or
redeemed at an earlier date.

    On May 12,  1993 the  Company's shareholders  approved an  amendment to  the
Company's  Restated Articles of Incorporation increasing authorized Common Stock
to 300,000,000 shares  from 100,000,000  shares and  reducing the  par value  of
Common  Stock to $.01 from $1.00. The amendment provided that the stated capital
of the  Company  would  not  be  affected as  of  the  date  of  the  amendment.
Accordingly, stated capital of the Company exceeds the amount reported as common
stock in the financial statements by approximately $39.0.

    Plan assets are  invested in  a diversified  portfolio of  equity, debt  and
government securities, including 294,000 shares of the Company's common stock at
December 31, 1993.

    Contributions  to union sponsored, multiemployer pension plans were $.2, $.2
and $.4 in 1993, 1992 and  1991, respectively. These plans are not  administered
by the Company and contributions are determined in accordance with provisions of
negotiated  labor  contracts. As  of 1993,  the  actuarially computed  values of
vested benefits for these plans were equal to or less than the net assets of the
plans. Therefore, the Company would  have no withdrawal liability. However,  the
Company has no present intention of withdrawing from any of these plans, nor has
the Company been informed that there is any intention to terminate such plans.

    Net  pension income  (expense), including Company  sponsored defined benefit
plans, multiemployer plans and other plans, was $.7, $.8 and $(.4) in 1993, 1992
and 1991, respectively.

Plan), a non-qualified executive stock purchase program (ESPP) and an employees'
discount  stock plan (DSP). The SPSB Plan provides Company pre-tax contributions
of 50% of the amount of employee contributions. The ESPP provides cash  payments
of  50% of  the employees'  contributions, along  with an  additional payment to
assist employees in paying  taxes on the cash  payments. These contributions  to
the  ESPP  are  invested in  the  Company's  common stock  through  the  DSP. In

I -- INDUSTRY SEGMENT INFORMATION
    The  Company's  operations  principally  consist  of  the  manufacturing  of
components and  related  finished  products for  the  furnishings  industry.  In
addition,  the Company supplies a diversified  group of industries with products
which are similar  in manufacturing  technology to  its furnishings  operations.
Other than furnishings, no industry segment is significant.

    The Company's products are sold primarily through its own sales personnel to
customers  in all states of the United States. Foreign sales are a minor portion
of the Company's business.  No single customer  accounts for as  much as 10%  of
sales.

    Operating profit is determined by deducting from net sales the cost of goods
sold   and  the   selling,  distribution,  administrative   and  other  expenses
attributable to the segment operations. Corporate expenses not allocated to  the
segments include corporate general and administrative expenses, interest expense
and  certain  other  income and  deduction  items  which are  incidental  to the
Company's operations. Capital expenditures,  as defined herein, include  amounts
relating  to  acquisitions as  well as  internal expenditures.  The identifiable
assets   of   industry    segments   are   those    used   in   the    Company's

J -- CONTINGENCIES
    From  time  to  time, the  Company  is  involved in  proceedings  related to
environmental  matters.  In  one  instance,  the  United  States   Environmental
Protection  Agency ("EPA")  has directed  one of  the Company's  subsidiaries to
investigate potential  releases  into  the environment  and,  if  necessary,  to
perform  corrective action.  The subsidiary  appealed the  EPA's action  and the
outcome cannot be reasonably predicted. Costs to perform the actions directed by
the EPA, if the outcome is unfavorable, cannot be reasonably estimated. One-half
of any  such  costs would  be  reimbursed to  the  Company under  a  contractual
obligation  of a former joint owner of the subsidiary. No provision for costs of
performing investigation  and corrective  action, if  ultimately required,  have
been  recorded in the Company's financial  statements. If any such investigation
and corrective  action  is  required, management  believes  the  possibility  of
incurring  unreimbursed costs, with  a material adverse  effect on the Company's
consolidated financial condition or results of operations, is remote.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
Leggett & Platt, Incorporated:

    In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related
consolidated statements of earnings, changes in shareholders' equity and of cash
flows  present  fairly,  in all  material  respects, the  financial  position of
Leggett & Platt,  Incorporated and  its subsidiaries  at December  31, 1993  and
1992,  and the results of their operations and  their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended  December 31, 1993 in conformity with  generally
accepted   accounting   principles.   These   financial   statements   are   the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express  an
opinion  on these  financial statements  based on  our audits.  We conducted our
audits of  these  statements  in accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards  which 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,  assessing   the
accounting  principles used  and significant  estimates made  by management, and
evaluating the overall  financial statement  presentation. We  believe that  our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

               KEY MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

                                SUMMARY



      The Company has a Key Management Incentive Compensation Plan (the
"Plan") which was implemented to provide additional incentive to the
participants to achieve Company objectives.  The Plan is administered under
the direction of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.


      For participants at profit centers, awards are based on a combination of
(I) profit center achievement of budgeted operating income objectives;
(II) corporate performance as measured by after-tax returns on adjusted
average equity ("ROAAE") and earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT")
returns on adjusted net assets ("ROANA"); and (III) individual performance.
For participants on the Corporate staff, awards are based on corporate
performance (as defined above in item (II)), except that a 10% discretionary
portion is based on individual performance.


      Minimum ROAAE and ROANA levels must be achieved before any part of the
corporate portion of awards is payable.  As the Company's performance improves
beyond the established minimums, the size of the participant's bonus
increases. Total bonuses to all plan participants may not exceed 4% of EBIT.

                             STOCK  AWARD  AGREEMENT


     Leggett & Platt, Incorporated (the "COMPANY") and Felix E. Wright (the
"PARTICIPANT") agree as of July 27, 1993 as follows:

     1.   1989 FLEXIBLE STOCK PLAN.   The Basic Stock Award and the Additional
Stock Award provided for below (individually "STOCK AWARD" or "AWARD" and
collectively "STOCK AWARDS" or "AWARDS") constitute "OTHER STOCK BASED AWARDS"
under the Company's 1989 Flexible Stock Plan (the "PLAN") and are granted to
Participant under Article XVIII of the Plan.

          All Stock Awards provided for in this Agreement have been granted in
the sole discretion of the Committee which administers the Plan.  No
consideration whatsoever has been required of Participant as a condition to
receiving or enjoying Awards.

          This Agreement and all shares of Common Stock of the Company
("SHARES") granted to or acquired by Participant under or pursuant to this
Agreement is subject to the Plan.  A copy of the Plan is available to
Participant upon request.

          Capitalized terms used in this Agreement, if not defined herein, shall
have the meanings given to such terms by the Plan.

     2.   BASIC STOCK AWARD.   The Participant is granted bi-weekly awards of
Common Stock of the Company, such awards to be made beginning August 6, 1993 and
ending December 24, 1993.

          Each bi-weekly Basic Stock Award and Incentive Bonus will be in whole
(not fractional) Shares having a fair market value on the date the Award is made
that is as close as possible to $1,097.

          The awards made under this Section are individually and collectively
called the "BASIC STOCK AWARD."

     3.   ADDITIONAL STOCK AWARD.   On or before March 1, 1993 the Committee
will grant a one-time "ADDITIONAL STOCK AWARD" to Participant if (I) Participant
remains a full-time executive of an Employer as of December 31, 1993 or has
terminated his employment before December 31, 1993 because of permanent and
total disability, retirement or death and (II) the Company has met the 1993
earnings objectives as determined by the Committee for the awarding of an
Additional Stock Award.  The Additional Stock Award will be in whole (not
fractional) Shares having a fair market value on the date the Award is made that
is as close as possible to the product of "X" and "Y" where:

          (a)  "X" equals .787; and

          (b)  "Y" equals the aggregate fair market value of all Basic Stock
Awards received by Participant (with such fair market value being determined as
of the date that each Basic Stock Award is made).

                                       -1-

     4.   DIVIDENDS ON COMPANY SHARES; PARTICIPANT'S INVESTMENTS.


                         Participant elects to have income taxes withheld from
          ----------     all cash dividends on Company Shares.

              X          Participant elects not to have income taxes withheld
          ----------     from all cash dividends on Company Shares.

          (CHECK ONE OF TWO ABOVE.)

          Participant authorizes the Company to be paid and to receive all cash
dividends on Company Shares.

          The Company shall invest all cash dividends from Company Shares (plus
any interest thereon) in such debt or equity issues, mutual funds, annuity
contracts and/or other investments as shall be agreeable to Participant and the
Committee.  Such investments together with all proceeds thereof and increments
thereto are collectively called "PARTICIPANT'S INVESTMENTS."  In no event will
Participant's Investments include the Company's Common Stock or the Company's
preferred stock or any debt instruments convertible into such Common Stock or
preferred stock.

          Participant in his sole and absolute discretion and without being
under any obligation to do so, may transmit cash to the Company (bi-weekly by
payroll deduction or in lump sum amounts).  Any such cash transmitted during the
period of this Agreement shall not be less than 2% nor more than 10% of
Participant's gross cash compensation for the calendar year 1992.  All cash
transmitted will be invested  by the Company in the same manner as cash
dividends from Company Shares and thereupon shall constitute and remain a
portion of Participant's Investments.

          The substantive provisions of Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 6 and 10 of this
Agreement dealing with Common Stock and certificates therefor shall apply with
like force to Participant's Investments and certificates or other evidences of
Participant's Investments.

     5.   OTHER CONDITIONS OF STOCK AWARD.   The grant of each Stock Award shall
be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

          5.1  NAMES ON CERTIFICATES FOR COMMON STOCK.   Certificates for all
Common Stock shall normally be issued in the name of the Participant only.
However, if the Participant so requests, certificates will be issued (I) in the
name of the Participant and the Participant's spouse as tenants by the entirety,
or (II) in the name of the Participant and any other person designated by the
Participant as joint tenants with right of survivorship.  Any such issuance will
be in accordance with such guidelines as the Committee may promulgate.

               With the Committee's consent, which may be given or withheld in
the Committee's sole and absolute discretion, certificates for Common Stock may
be issued in the name of a person other than the Participant.  Any such issuance
shall be on such terms and conditions as the Committee may deem appropriate.

                                       -2-

<PAGE>

               Irrespective of the names (other than the Participant's)
appearing on any certificates for Common Stock, such certificates shall remain
subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

          5.2  STOCK NOT TRANSFERABLE.   Common Stock may not be transferred,
pledged or otherwise disposed of by the Participant or any other holder thereof
until it is no longer subject to repurchase pursuant to Section 13 and until the
earlier of (I) the Participant's death, total and permanent disability,
retirement or other termination of employment, or (II) such time as the
Committee shall determine.

          5.3  POSSESSION OF STOCK CERTIFICATES; LEGENDS.   Until Common Stock
is no longer nontransferable, certificates for such Common Stock may be held by
the Company or such other person or entity as the Committee shall select and may
be marked with such legend as the Committee shall determine.

          5.4  SUBSTITUTION OF CERTIFICATES.   A Participant shall be permitted
from time to time to substitute certificates for Common Stock already owned by
the Participant and not subject to this Agreement for a like number of Common
Stock certificates.  Participant shall also be permitted from time to time to
substitute property already owned by the Participant and not subject to this
Agreement for Participant's Investments having similar fair market value.  Any
and all such substitutions shall be in accordance with such guidelines as the
Committee may promulgate.

     6.   TRUST OF CUSTODIAL ACCOUNT.   The Committee shall have the right at
any time to establish a trust, custodial account or other arrangement to hold
certificates for Common Stock which is nontransferable upon such terms as it
deems appropriate and which are not in conflict with the Plan or this Agreement.

     7.   ADJUSTMENT.   In the event of any change in the Common Stock of the
Company described in Section 3.3 of the Plan, the Committee shall have the right
to make such amendments to this Agreement as it shall deem necessary to carry
out the purposes of this Agreement.

     8.   AUTHORITY AND FURTHER STEPS.   In addition to this Agreement, the
Participant shall execute such additional documents and take all steps as the
Committee shall request to effectuate the provisions of this Agreement.

     9.   TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.   If Participant's employment terminates
for any reason, no further installment of any Basic Stock Awards which is
payable in installments shall be made.  If the Participant's employment
terminates for any reason prior to December 31 of any year, any Additional Stock
Award for the year which has not been paid will be forfeited unless (A) such
termination (I) was because of permanent and total disability or death or
(II) occurred on or after the Participant attained 60 years of age or attained
55 years of age and had been employed by an Employer for at least 5 continuous
years or (B) the Committee provides otherwise.

     10.  ASSIGNMENT.   Unless allowed by the Committee, no Award shall be
assignable by the Participant.  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit

                                       -3-
<PAGE>

of the Company, the Participant and their respective successors, assigns, heirs
and personal representatives.

     11.  FUTURE GRANTS.   Nothing contained in this Agreement or other document
shall require the grant to Participant of additional Awards or any other Benefit
under the Plan or prohibit any other Benefit which is granted from being a
different Benefit or from being granted on different and/or additional terms and
conditions than those in this Agreement.

     12.  NO EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT.     This Agreement shall not confer upon the
Participant any right of continued employment nor shall it interfere in any way
with the right of the Employer to terminate the Participant's employment at any
time (subject to any employment contract that might exist between Participant
and the Employer).

     13.  OPTIONS TO REPURCHASE.   The Company shall have an option to buy all
of a Participant's Common Stock obtained directly through a Stock Award.  The
option price shall be $1, and the option must be exercised by the Committee
within 60 days following the Participant's termination of employment.  The above
option applied only to a Participant (A) who is under age 60 when his employment
terminates, (B) who has been employed by an Employer for less than 5 continuous
years when his employment terminates AND (C) whose employment is terminated for
a reason other than permanent and total disability or death.  For purposes of
determining a Participant's length of employment, employment with an Employer
prior to the time that it became an Employer shall be disregarded.  Without, in
any way, limiting the provisions of Section 8, in order to facilitate the
Company's exercise of the foregoing option, the Participant shall, as a
condition to receiving an Award, execute such stock and other assignments and
other documents of transfer as the Committee shall request at any time.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the decision as to whether to exercise the option
granted by this Section 13 shall be made solely by the Committee.

                           STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

      Leggett & Platt, Incorporated (the "Company") and Harry M. Cornell, Jr.
(the "Participant") agree as of December 20, 1993 as follows:

      1.    1989 FLEXIBLE STOCK PLAN.  The Basic Stock Award and the
Additional Stock Award provided for below (individually "Stock Award" or
"Award" and collectively "Stock Awards" or "Awards") constitute "Other Stock
Based Awards" under the Company's 1989 Flexible Stock Plan (the "Plan") and
are granted to Participant under Article XVIII of the Plan.

            All Stock Awards provided for in this Agreement have been granted
in the sole discretion of the Committee which administers the Plan.  No
consideration whatsoever has been required of Participant as a condition to
receiving or enjoying Awards.

            This Agreement and all shares of Common Stock of the Company
("Shares") granted to or acquired by Participant under or pursuant to this
Agreement is subject to the Plan.  A copy of the Plan is available to
Participant upon request.

            Capitalized terms used in this Agreement, if not defined herein,
shall have the meanings given to such terms by the Plan.

      2.    BASIC STOCK AWARD.  The Participant is granted bi-weekly awards
of Common Stock of the Company, such awards to be made beginning January 7,
1994 and ending December 23, 1994.

            On or before March 31, 1994 (and as early as December 20, 1993),
the Committee will grant a one-time Basic Stock Award to Participant providing
Participant remains a full-time executive of an Employer on that date.

            Each bi-weekly Basic Stock Award and the one-time Basic Stock
Award will be in whole (not fractional) Shares having a fair market value on
the date the Award is made that is as close as possible to 7.34% of each
installment of Participant's biweekly pay in the case of the biweekly Basic
Stock Award and 7.16% of Participants incentive pay in the case of his
one-time Basic Stock Award.  The parties to this Agreement agree that the
immediately preceding percentages may be adjusted upward or downward as
necessary by the Company to reflect any changes in federal, state or local tax
rates.

            The awards made under this Section are individually and
collectively called the "Basic Stock Award."

      3.    ADDITIONAL STOCK AWARD.  On or before March 1, 1995 the
Committee will grant a one-time "Additional Stock Award" to Participant if (i)
Participant remains a full-time executive of an Employer as of December 31, 1994
or has terminated his employment before December 31, 1994 because of permanent
and total disability, retirement or death and (ii) the Company has met the 1994
earnings objectives as determined by the Committee for the awarding of an
Additional Stock Award. The Additional Stock Award will be in whole (not
fractional) Shares having a fair market value on the date the Award is made that
is as close as possible to the product of "X" and "Y" where:

                                    1
<PAGE>

            (a)   "X" equals .787; and

            (b)   "Y" equals the aggregate fair market value of all Basic
Stock Awards received by Participant during calendar year 1994 plus any Basic
Awards on compensation or incentive bonuses accelerated from 1994 into 1993.
The fair market value of each Basic Stock Award shall be determined as of the
date such Award is made.

      4.    DIVIDENDS ON COMPANY SHARES; PARTICIPANT'S INVESTMENTS

      _________   Participant elects to have income taxes withheld from all
                  cash dividends on Company Shares.

        X         Participant elects not to have income taxes withheld
      _________   from all cash dividends on Company Shares.

      (Check one of two above.)

            Participant authorizes the Company to be paid and to receive all
cash dividends on Company Shares.

            The Company shall invest all cash dividends from Company Shares
(plus any interest thereon) in such debt or equity issues, mutual funds,
annuity contracts and/or other investments as shall be agreeable to
Participant and the Committee.  Such investments together with all proceeds
thereof and increments thereto are collectively called "Participant's
Investments."  In no event will Participant's Investments include the
Company's Common Stock or the Company's preferred stock or any debt
instruments convertible into such Common Stock or preferred stock.

            Participant in his sole and absolute discretion and without being
under any obligation to do so, may transmit cash to the Company (bi-weekly by
payroll deduction or in lump sum amounts).  Any such cash transmitted during
the period of this Agreement shall not be less than 1% nor more than 10% of
Participant's gross cash compensation for the calendar year 1993.  All cash
transmitted will be invested by the Company in the same manner as cash
dividends from Company Shares and thereupon shall constitute and remain a
portion of Participant's Investments.

            The substantive provisions of Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 6 and 10 of
this Agreement dealing with Common Stock and certificates therefore shall
apply with like force to Participant's Investments and certificates or other
evidences of Participant's Investments.

      5.    OTHER CONDITIONS OF STOCK AWARD.  The grant of each Stock Award
shall be subject to the following additional terms and conditions:

      5.1   NAMES ON CERTIFICATES FOR COMMON STOCK.  Certificates for all

However, if the Participant so request, certificates will be issued (i) in the
name of the Participant and the Participant's spouse as tenants by the

as joint tenants with right of survivorship. Any such issuance will be in
accordance with such guidelines as the Committee may promulgate.

            With the Committee's consent, which may be given or withheld in
the Committee's sole and absolute discretion, certificates for Common Stock
may be issued in the name of a person other than the Participant.  Any such
issuance shall be on such terms and conditions as the Committee may deem
appropriate.

            Irrespective of the names (other than the Participant's) appearing
on any certificates for Common Stock, such certificates shall remain subject
to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

      5.2   STOCK NOT TRANSFERABLE.  Common Stock may not be transferred,
pledged or otherwise disposed of by the Participant or any other holder
thereof until it is no longer subject to repurchase pursuant to Section 13 and
until the earlier of (i) the Participant's death, total and permanent
disability, retirement, or other termination of employment or (ii) such time
as the Committee shall determine.

            In addition Participant may not sell or otherwise dispose of any
shares of Common Stock awarded under this Agreement unless the shares have
been held for at least six months after the date of the Award.

      5.3   POSSESSION OF STOCK CERTIFICATES; LEGENDS.  Until Common Stock
is no longer nontransferable, certificates for such Common Stock may be held
by the Company or such other person or entity as the Committee shall select
and may be marked with such legend as the Committee shall determine.

      5.4   SUBSTITUTION OF CERTIFICATES.  A Participant shall be permitted
from time to time to substitute certificates for Common Stock already owned by
the Participant and not subject to this Agreement for a like number of Common
Stock certificates which have been held for at least six months from the date
that they were awarded.  Participant shall also be permitted from time to time
to substitute property already owned by the Participant and not subject to this
Agreement for Participant's Investments having similar fair market value.  Any
and all such substitutions shall be in accordance with such guidelines as the
Committee may promulgate.

      6.    TRUST OR CUSTODIAL ACCOUNT.  The Committee shall have the right
at any time to establish a trust, custodial account or other arrangement to
hold certificates for Common Stock which is nontransferable upon such terms as
it deems appropriate and which are not in conflict with the Plan or this
Agreement.

      7.    ADJUSTMENT.  In the event of any change in the Common Stock of
the Company described in Section 3.3 of the Plan, the Committee shall have the
right to make such amendments to this Agreement as it shall deem necessary to
carry out the purposes of this Agreement.

      8.    AUTHORITY AND FURTHER STEPS.  In addition to this Agreement, the
Participant shall execute such additional documents and take all steps as the
Committee shall request to effectuate the provisions of this Agreement.

      9.    TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT.  If Participant's employment
terminates for any reason, no further installment of any Basic Stock Award
which is payable in installments shall be made.  If the Participant's
employment terminates for any reason prior to December 31 of any year, any
Additional Stock Award for that year which has not been paid will be forfeited
unless (a) such termination (i) was because of permanent and total disability
or death or (ii) occurred on or after the Participant attained 60 years of age
or attained 55 years of age and had been employed by an Employer for at least
5 continuous years or (b) the Committee provides otherwise.

      10.   ASSIGNMENT.  Unless allowed by the Committee, no Award shall be
assignable by the Participant.  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Participant and
their respective successors, assigns, heirs, and personal representatives.

      11.   FUTURE GRANTS.  Nothing contained in this Agreement or other
document shall require the grant to participant of additional Awards or any
other Benefit under the Plan or prohibit any other Benefit which is granted
from being a different Benefit or from being granted on different and/or
additional terms and conditions than those in this Agreement.

      12.   NO EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT.  This Agreement shall not confer upon
the Participant any right of continued employment nor shall it interfere in
any way with the right of the Employer to terminate the Participant's
employment at any time (subject to any employment contract that might exist
between Participant and the Employer).

      13.   OPTION TO REPURCHASE.  The Company shall have an option to buy
all of a Participant's Common Stock obtained directly through a Stock Award.
The option price shall be $1, and the option must be exercised by the
Committee within 60 days following the Participant's termination of
employment.  The above option applies only to a Participant (a) who is under
age 60 when his employment terminates, (b) who has been employed by an
Employer for less than 5 continuous years when his employment terminates AND
(c) whose employment is terminated for a reason other than permanent and total
disability or death.  For purposes of determining a Participant's length of
employment, employment with an Employer prior to the time that it became an
Employer shall be disregarded.  Without, in any way, limiting the provisions
of Section 8, in order to facilitate the Company's exercise of the foregoing
option, the Participant shall, as a condition to receiving an Award, execute
such stock and other assignments and other documents of transfer as the
Committee shall request at any time.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
decision as to whether to exercise the option granted by this Section 13 shall
be made solely by the Committee.

                  LEGGETT & PLATT, INCORPORATED
                 DEFERRED COMPENSATION AGREEMENT

This agreement ("Agreement") is made  between Leggett & Platt, Incorporated
or its affiliates ("Company") and the executive named below ("Executive").

1.    PURPOSE.  The purpose of this Agreement is to allow Executive the
opportunity to defer payment of salary, awards and other earnings as set forth
on Exhibit A hereto (collectively "Earnings").

2.    DEFERRAL.  Executive irrevocably elects to defer payment of those
Earnings set forth on Exhibit A hereto ("Deferral Election Form").  Executive
shall submit an executed  and completed Deferral Election Form to the Staff
Vice President-Personnel ("Administrator") prior to the time such Earnings
would have otherwise been paid but for such election. The extent of the
deferral, the terms and increments of payment of the Earnings shall be as set
forth on the Deferral Election Form and  this Agreement.

3.    ESTABLISHMENT OF ACCOUNT.  The Administrator shall establish an account
on the Company's  books to which the Earnings, and interest thereon as set
forth in Exhibit B shall be credited ("Account").  The establishment of such
Account shall not constitute a trust or a fiduciary relationship.

4.   VESTING.  The amount credited to the Account shall be at all times and in
all events one hundred percent (100%) vested in Executive.

5.    EXECUTIVE'S RIGHTS UNSECURED.  The right of Executive to receive any
unpaid portion of the Account shall be an unsecured claim against the general
assets of the Company.  The Company's obligation under this Agreement is a
mere promise to pay money.

6.   ADMINISTRATION.  This Agreement shall be administered by a Deferred
Compensation Committee ("Committee") consisting of the Compensation Committee
of the Company.  The Administrator will be responsible for administering this
Agreement under the direction, control and supervision of the  Committee.  The
Committee shall have the authority to adopt rules and regulations for carrying
out the Agreement and discretionary authority to interpret, construe and
implement the provisions hereof.  The decisions of the Committee, including,
but not limited to, interpretations and determination of amounts due under this
Agreement (which shall be made in the manner, and in accordance with
procedures, required by law), shall be final and binding on all parties.  The
Committee shall not be liable to any person for any action taken or
omitted in connection with the interpretation and administration of this
Agreement unless attributable to such Committee member's own gross misconduct.

7.    PAYMENT OF EXECUTIVE'S ACCOUNT.  Notwithstanding anything contained in
the Deferral Election Form, the amount credited to each Executive's Account
shall be paid as provided below:

     a.   TERMINATION.  In the event Executive's employment is terminated for
          reasons other than death, retirement or disability, Executive shall
          receive the balance in his Account in a lump sum payment as soon as
          reasonably practical after such termination.

     b.   DISABILITY.   In the event Executive is determined to be totally and
          permanently disabled by the Committee, Executive shall receive the
          balance in his Account in a lump sum payment as soon as
          reasonably practical after the Administrator has made a
          determination of such disability.

     c.   DEATH.  In the event of Executive's death, the balance in the
          Executive's account shall be paid in a lump sum payment to
          participant's beneficiary or estate as soon as reasonably
          practical thereafter.

8.    DISCRETIONARY PAYMENTS.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement or the Deferral Election Form, the Committee may in its sole
discretion at any time during the first calendar quarter of 1994, make a full
lump sum payment (i) to Executive or (ii) in the case of Executive's death to
Executive's estate or beneficiary who would otherwise be entitled to receive
such amount in installments.



<PAGE>

     In addition at any time following a request by Executive or Executive's
successor, the Committee may at its sole discretion make a full lump sum
payment or partial lump sum payment to Executive or Executive's estate or
beneficiary.

9.   DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY.  Executive may file with the Administrator a
form provided by the Administrator designating one or more beneficiaries to
whom payments hereunder shall be made in the event of Executive's death.
Executive may change or revoke a designation of a beneficiary at any time or
from time to time without obtaining the consent of the beneficiary and the
Company shall have no duty to notify such person of the change.  A change of
beneficiary shall be made by completing a form provided by the Administrator.
If notice of beneficiary  is  not on file with the Administrator or if no
person  designated by Executive is living at the time of the Executive's
death, then the Executive's estate shall be deemed to be his designated
beneficiary for the purposes hereof.

10.   NOT ASSIGNABLE. The right of an Executive to receive any unpaid portion
of the Executive's Account shall not be assigned, transferred, pledged or
encumbered or be subject in any manner to alienation or anticipation.

11.  CONFLICT OF DOCUMENTS.  In the event of any conflict between the Deferral
Election Form and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control.

12.  INCOME AND PAYROLL TAX WITHHOLDING.  The Company shall withhold from
Earnings any taxes required to be withheld for federal, state or local
governmental purposes.

13.  NO CONTRACT OF EMPLOYMENT. This Agreement does not constitute a contract
of employment.

14.  SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to
the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns and to Executive, his
heirs, executors, administrators and legal assigns.

This Agreement has been executed by Executive and Company on the date set
forth below.
