                           Chromcraft Revington, Inc.
                        Comments on First Quarter Outlook

         Delphi, Indiana, March 28, 2003 - Chromcraft Revington, Inc. (NYSE:CRC)
announced today that it expects earnings for the first quarter of 2003 to be
lower than previously projected, with first quarter diluted earnings per share
expected to be in the range of $.47 to $.52, which is eight cents lower than the
Company's previous guidance.

         Michael E. Thomas, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer,
stated that uncertainty in the U.S. economy, depressed consumer confidence
levels and the current international conflict are among the factors resulting in
a soft retail furniture market and are negatively affecting the Company's
business. He added that foreign competition continues to impact the Company's
business as well.

         Thomas also said that if business conditions do not improve, Chromcraft
Revington expects earnings for the full year of 2003 to be lower than previously
projected. Because of the uncertain economic environment, the Company has not
updated its previous guidance regarding full year earnings per share.

         Chromcraft Revington plans to report its first quarter results during
the week of April 21, 2003.

         Chromcraft Revington designs, manufactures and sells residential and
commercial furniture throughout the United States under the "Chromcraft,"
"Peters-Revington," "Silver Furniture," "Cochrane Furniture" and "Sumter
Cabinet" brand names.
