AMENDMENT NO. 6 TO
SCHEDULE 13D OF CLARENCE H. RIDLEY
RESPECTING THE SECURITIES OF HAVERTY FURNITURE COMPANIES, INC.

This Amendment No. 6 to Schedule 13D, as amended to date (the “Schedule 13D”), is filed by Clarence H. Ridley, an individual (the “Reporting Person”), and relates to shares of the Class A Common Stock of Haverty Furniture Companies, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Issuer”), with principal executive offices located at 780 Johnson Ferry Road, Suite 800, Atlanta, Georgia 30342.

This Amendment No. 6 hereby amends and supplements the Schedule 13D as set forth below, and is being filed to report a change in share ownership as a result of the conversion of 250,000 shares of Class A Common Stock into Common Stock (as defined below) of the Issuer on May 19, 2010. As a result of this conversion, the Reporting Person holds less than five percent of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and expects that this will be the final amendment to the original Schedule 13D filing and an exit filing for the Reporting Person.

This Amendment No. 6 amends Items 2, 4 and 5 of Schedule 13D as set forth below. All disclosure for items contained in the Schedule 13D where no new information is provided in this Amendment No. 6 is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

Item 2 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented to add the following information:

On May 10, 2010, Mr. Ridley retired as the Chairman of the Board of the Issuer. His present occupation is as a private investor.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented to add the following information:

On May 19, 2010, Mr. Ridley converted 250,000 shares of the Class A Common Stock into Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share, of the Issuer. After giving effect to this transaction, Mr. Ridley owned approximately 3.75% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. Mr. Ridley may dispose of additional shares of Class A Common Stock, and any shares of Common Stock received upon conversion of Class A Common Stock, from time to time, based on market conditions and the objectives of his financial planning, and he expects to dispose of the 250,000 shares of Common Stock received from the conversion over the next several months.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN THE SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented to add the following information:

(a) As of May 19, 2010, Mr. Ridley beneficially owns in the aggregate 144,602 shares, or approximately 3.75% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock of the Issuer.

(b) Mr. Ridley possesses sole voting and investment power with respect to 142,742 shares of Class A Common Stock, and shared voting and investment powers with respect to 1,860 shares of Class A Common Stock. The following information is provided with respect to shares as to which Mr. Ridley shares voting and or dispositive power: 1,860 shares of Class A Common Stock are owned of record by Eleanor Horsey Ridley, wife of Clarence H. Ridley, with respect to which Mr. Ridley shares voting and investment powers. Mr. Ridley has no other sole or shared voting and investment power with respect to any shares of Class A Common Stock.

(c) Except for the conversion of 250,000 shares of Class A Common Stock on May 19, 2010, as described in Item 4 above, Mr. Ridley has not engaged in any transactions in the Class A Common Stock during the past 60 days.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) On May 19, 2010, Mr. Ridley ceased to be the beneficial of more than five percent of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock.
