     REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Executive Compensation and Employee Benefits Committee and
Participants of Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. Thrift Plan

     We   audited  the  accompanying  statements  of  net  assets
available  for  benefits  of  Haverty Furniture  Companies,  Inc.
Thrift  Plan (the "Plan") as of December 31, 2005 and  2004,  and
the  related  statement of changes in net  assets  available  for
benefits  for the year ended December 31, 2005.  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 the standards of
the  Public  Company Accounting Oversight Board (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.  The Plan  is  not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal  control over financial reporting.  Our  audit  included
consideration of internal control over financial reporting  as  a
basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in  the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing  an  opinion
on   the  effectiveness  of  the  Plan's  internal  control  over
financial  reporting.  Accordingly, we express no  such  opinion.
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 2005 financial statements referred  to
above  present fairly, in all material respects, the  net  assets
available  for benefits of the Plan as of December 31,  2005  and
2004,  and  the changes in its net assets available for  benefits
for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2005,  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 as of December 31, 2005, is presented for the purpose of
additional  analysis  and is not a required  part  of  the  basic
financial   statements.   This  supplemental  schedule   is   the
responsibility  of  the  Plan's  management.   The   supplemental
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
the  audit  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.

                     December 31, 2005 and 2004
_____________________________________________________________________

1.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
     _______________________

     The  Haverty  Furniture  Companies, Inc.  Thrift  Plan  (the
"Plan")  is sponsored by Haverty Furniture Companies,  Inc.  (the
"Company" and "Plan Sponsor").  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 Plan document, copies  of  which  are
available at the Company's Human Resources office.

     Effective  May  1, 2004, Fiserv Trust Corporation  maintains
the Plan's assets under the terms of a trust agreement.  Swerdlin
& Company provides record keeping services to the Plan.

Eligibility
-----------

     Company employees become eligible for participation  in  the
Plan  after they attain 21 years of age and complete 60  days  of
continuous,  active employment.  Plan entry dates are  the  first
day  of  each month.  An employee who is included in  a  unit  of
employees  covered  by  a  collective  bargaining  agreement   is
excluded  from participating in the Plan unless provided  in  the
written agreement.

Contributions
-------------

     Eligible employees are automatically enrolled into the  Plan
and   pre-tax  contributions  are  withheld  at  2%  of  eligible
compensation unless the employee elects not to contribute to  the
Plan.   Eligible employees may elect to defer up to 80% of  their
compensation  through  payroll deductions, subject  to  statutory
limitations.   Participants age 50 and older may make  additional
catch-up contributions to the Plan.

     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.   Additional  amounts may  be  contributed  at  the
option  of  the Company's Board of Directors.  No such additional
amounts  were  elected to be contributed in 2005  or  2004.   The
Company's  matching  contributions  will  be  allocated  to   the
participant's directed accounts.

                     December 31, 2005 and 2004
_____________________________________________________________________


Participant Accounts
--------------------

     Participants  direct  the investment of their  contributions
into various investment options offered by the Plan.  The Company
currently offers a money market fund, seven mutual funds, and the
Company's  common  stock  via the Haverty  Unitized  Stock  Fund.
Participants  may  change their investment  options  on  a  daily
basis.    Each  participant's  account  is  credited   with   the
participant's    contributions,    rollovers,    the    Company's
contribution,  and earnings on the investments in their  account.
The  benefit  to which a participant is entitled is  the  benefit
that can be provided from the participant's vested account.

     There  are  restrictions on purchases of  Haverty  Furniture
Companies,  Inc.  common stock through the Plan via  the  Haverty
Unitized  Stock  Fund  (the "Fund").   The  restrictions  are  as
follows: 1) A maximum of one purchase transaction is allowed each
thirty-day period; 2) Sell transactions are allowed each day, but
sales out of the Fund may not exceed $50,000 in a single day;  3)
The  Fund  cannot  exceed  30% of a participant's  total  account
balance,  or  a maximum of $50,000; and 4) Section  16  reporting
officers  and regional managers are prohibited from investing  in
the Fund.

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.  The vesting schedule is as follows:


                                            Percentage of
             Years of Service            Contributions Vested
             ________________            ____________________

             Less than 2 years                   0%
                   2                            40%
                   3                            60%
                   4                            80%
                   5                           100%



     Forfeitures  of  employer contributions are used  to  offset
employer  matching contributions for the same and/or future  Plan
years.  Forfeited non-vested amounts of approximately $99,790 and
$92,600  were  used to reduce employer contributions  during  the
years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

                     December 31, 2005 and 2004
_____________________________________________________________________


Payment of Benefits
-------------------

     At  the  time  of  death, total disability,  retirement,  or
termination of services, the participant or their beneficiary may
receive payment of the vested interest in their account.

     The  participant may elect to receive the portion of his/her
account  that is invested in the Haverty Unitized Stock  Fund  in
cash, in whole shares of stock, or a combination of the two.  All
other investments are paid in a cash lump sum.

     Participants  are  eligible to receive hardship  withdrawals
when certain conditions are met.


2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
     __________________________________________

Basis of Accounting
-------------------

     The  financial statements of the Plan are prepared using the
accrual method of accounting.

Use of Estimates
----------------

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

Contributions
-------------

     Contributions  are considered payable to the Plan  upon  the
withholding   of   such  contributions  from  the   participant's
paycheck.

Investment Valuation
--------------------

     The  Plan's  investments in mutual funds  and  money  market
funds  are  stated at fair value based on quoted  market  prices.
The Haverty Unitized Stock Fund consists of a 95% Haverty's stock
position  ("HVT") and a 5% money market position.  Each  day  the
value  of  the portfolio is determined by the sum of the  closing
price  of  HVT multiplied by the number of shares held  plus  the
value  of  the  money  market position as  well  as  any  accrued
interest.

     Net  change  in fair value of investments includes  realized
and  unrealized gains and losses on investments and interest  and
dividends on mutual funds.  Dividend income is recorded on the ex-
dividend date.  Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on
a trade date basis.

Payment of Benefits
-------------------

     Benefits are recorded when paid.


Participant Transaction Charges
-------------------------------

     A  portion  of the transaction fees for hardship withdrawals
are  charged directly to participants.  The Plan Sponsor paid all
other administrative expenses of the Plan during 2005 and 2004.

4.   INCOME TAX STATUS
     _________________

     The  Plan  was  restated effective  January  1,  2005.   The
restated  Plan has not received a determination letter  from  the
Internal Revenue Service.  The plan administrator and the  Plan's
tax counsel believe that the Plan is currently designed and being
operated  in compliance with the applicable requirements  of  the
Internal  Revenue Code; therefore, no provision for income  taxes
has been included in the Plan's financial statements.


5.   TRANSACTIONS WITH PARTIES-IN-INTEREST
     _____________________________________

     At  December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, the Plan  held

which  invests in Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. common stock,
in  addition  to limited investments in short-term  money  market
investments.  The fair value of the Fund at December 31, 2005 and
2004  was  $2,070,301 and $3,673,793, respectively.  During  2005
and 2004, the Plan received $46,530 and $55,627, respectively, in
dividends on Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc. common stock which
was used to purchase additional units of the Fund.


6.   PLAN TERMINATION
     ________________

     Although  it  has not expressed any intent  to  do  so,  the
Company  has  the  right  under  the  Plan  to  discontinue   its
contributions  at any time and to terminate the Plan  subject  to
the  provisions  of  ERISA.  In the event  of  Plan  termination,
participants will become fully vested in their accounts.
