                                    EXHIBIT A

                       To Form 8-K dated November 15, 2001

             FLEXSTEEL TO CONSOLIDATE PRODUCTION OF VEHICLE SEATING

         Dubuque, Iowa -- November 15, 2001, Flexsteel Industries, Inc.
(NASDAQ:FLXS) announced the planned consolidation of its Indiana vehicle seating
manufacturing into its New Paris facility by closing its Elkhart facility. The
Elkhart facility is expected to close December 20, 2001.

         K. Bruce Lauritsen, Flexsteel's President and Chief Executive Officer,
said that the consolidation is necessary due to the slowdown in the economy and
continued poor business conditions in the vehicle seating industries, especially
for van conversions and travel trailers, which are the primary products of the
Elkhart plant. The Elkhart products will be shifted to New Paris, so customers
will notice no difference in scheduled shipments. "We expect that during the
next six months production workers will be offered employment in our New Paris
plant as products are transferred from Elkhart and demand for vehicle seating
products increases in the spring of 2002." Additionally, some administrative
personnel will be offered employment in New Paris.

         The larger New Paris plant should offer greater production efficiencies
with all units produced in the same plant, Lauritsen said. He noted the New
Paris plant with its metal parts production capabilities is more suitable for
efficient production.

         A total of 84 employees are affected by this consolidation, including
32 employees who had been previously laid off.

         The Company estimates the closing of the Elkhart plant will result in
net restructuring costs and potential asset impairments of approximately
$640,000 or $0.10 per share of outstanding common stock.
