ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

Results of Operations

Net sales decreased $5.9 million, or 8.3%, for the three month period ended
March 31, 2001, from the comparable 2000 period. The decrease was due primarily
to lower unit volume in the Company's collections offering (bedroom, dining
room, tables and entertainment units). The Company reduced production during the
first quarter of 2001 in response to order trends through selective downtime at
its facilities. As a result, total inventories of $55.9 million at March 31,
2001 approximated year-end 2000 levels. The Company expects second quarter sales
to decline on a percentage basis in the mid-teens compared to an all time record
second quarter in 2000, as retail furniture activity continued to slow through
the end of the first quarter and into the second quarter of 2001. The Company
does not expect business conditions to improve before the fourth quarter of
2001, which should result in sales for 2001 modestly below last year.
Accordingly, the Company anticipates continued downtime to manage inventory
levels until business conditions improve.

Gross profit margin for the three months of 2001 decreased to 23.5% from 24.4%
for the comparable 2000 period. The decrease resulted primarily from lower sales
and production levels in the first quarter of 2001. Start-up costs associated
with the new factory, which began production of home office furniture in March
2000, reduced gross profit in the year ago quarter. Improved productivity from
this facility partially offset the impact of lower sales and production levels
in the first quarter of 2001.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales
increased to 12.0% for the 2001 period from 11.8% in the comparable 2000 period.
The higher percentage was due principally to lower net sales in the 2001 period.
Selling, general and administrative expenditures declined $532,000 in the 2001
period primarily as a result of lower selling expenses directly attributable to
the decrease in sales.

As a result of the above, operating income decreased to $7.4 million, or 11.4%
of net sales, from $9.0 million, or 12.7% of net sales in the comparable 2000
period.

Interest expense for the three-month period of 2001 increased over the 2000
comparable three-month period due to higher average debt levels.

The Company's effective income tax rate was 36.3% for the 2001 three-month
period and 37.0% for the total year 2000.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash generated from operations was $3.1 million in the 2001 first quarter
compared to cash used by operations of $1.5 million in the 2000 period. Working
capital increased $1.6 million in the 2001 first quarter compared to an increase
of $8.7 million in the comparable 2000 period.

Net cash used for capital expenditures was $673,000 in the first three months of
2001 compared to $4.8 million in the comparable 2000 period. Cash requirements
were higher in the 2000 period due to capital expenditures related to a new
manufacturing facility. Included in the 2000 capital expenditure was $2.7
million of 1999 capital expenditures included in accounts payable at December
31, 1999 and $2.1 million of capital expenditures from the 2000 period. These
expenditures were primarily for plant and equipment and other assets in the
normal course of business. Capital expenditures in 2001 are anticipated to be
approximately $6-$7 million.

Net cash used by financing activities was $3.4 million in the 2001 period
compared to cash provided by financing activities of $4.1 million in the 2000
period. In the 2001 period, cash from operations and borrowings under the
revolving credit facility provided cash for senior debt payments, the purchase
and retirement of the Company's common stock and capital expenditures. In the
2000 period, borrowings under the revolving credit facility provided cash for
operating activities, senior debt payments, capital expenditures and the
purchase and retirement of the Company's common stock. During the three months
ended March 31, 2001, the Company purchased 36,000 shares of its stock on the
open market at an average price of $24.25. At March 31, 2001, approximately $9.0
million remains authorized by the Company's Board of Directors to repurchase
shares of the Company's common stock.

At March 31, 2001, long-term debt including current maturities was $49.4
million. Debt service requirements are $2.4 million remaining in 2001, $6.8
million in 2002, $6.9 million in 2003, $7.0 million in 2004, and $2.8 million in
2005. As of March 31, 2001, approximately $12.9 million of additional borrowings
were available under the Company's revolving credit facility. The Company
believes that its financial resources are adequate to support its capital needs
and debt service requirements.

Future results may be adversely impacted by potential credit issues with a
customer whose average accounts receivable balance typically ranges from $2.5
million to $3.5 million.  The Company is in discussions with this customer, who
has indicated it is pursuing alternatives to resolve these potential credit
issues.  There can be no assurance these efforts will be successful.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this report are not based on historical facts, but
are forward-looking statements. These statements can be identified by the use of
forward-looking terminology such as "believes," "expects," "may," "will,"
"should," or "anticipates" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon
or comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. These statements
reflect the Company's reasonable judgment with respect to future events and are
subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements. Such risks and
uncertainties include the cyclical nature of the furniture industry,
fluctuations in the price for lumber which is the most significant raw material
used by the Company, credit exposure to customers in the current economic
climate, competition in the furniture industry, capital costs and general
economic conditions.

ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Because the Company's obligation under its Revolving Credit Facility bears
interest at a variable rate, the Company is sensitive to changes in prevailing
interest rates. A one-percentage point fluctuation in market interest rates
would not have a material impact on earnings during the first quarter of 2001.
