          AGREEMENT TO SELL HYGENA KITCHENS THROUGH CURRYS

MFI Furniture Group Plc today announces that it has reached agreement
with Dixons Stores Group to operate kitchen concessions in a number of
its Currys outlets.

The concessions will display and sell 20 kitchen ranges: eight under a
new brand extension, Hygena Gold, and 12 under MFI's wholly-owned
Hygena brand.  Under the agreement, MFI will supply fully trained
staff to work with customers in the concessions.

The Hygena kitchen concessions will be rolled out over a three year
term, with the first opening in September 2000.

Commenting on the agreement, John Hancock, Chief Executive, said:

'This is an exciting development, which builds on MFI's strength as
the UK's number one kitchen manufacturer and retailer.  Selling Hygena
kitchens in Currys is exactly in line with MFI's strategic focus on
developing new routes to market for our furniture.'
