Exhibit 99.2

STATEMENT UNDER OATH OF PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL OFFICER REGARDING FACTS AND
CIRCUMSTANCES RELATING TO EXCHANGE ACT FILINGS

I, Michael A. Glauber,  Senior Vice President - Finance and Administration of
Leggett & Platt,  Incorporated ("L&P"),  state and attest that:

(1)    To the best of my knowledge,  based upon a review of the covered  reports
       of L&P, and,  except as corrected or supplemented in a subsequent covered
       report:

          o     no covered report contained an untrue statement of a material
                fact as of the end of the period covered by such report (or in
                the case of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials,
                as of the date on which it was filed); and

          o     no covered report omitted to state a material fact necessary
                to make the statements in the covered report, in light of the
                circumstances under which they were made, not misleading as of
                the end of the period covered by such report (or in the case
                of a report on Form 8-K or definitive proxy materials, as of
                the date on which it was filed).

(2)    I have reviewed the contents of this statement with L&P's audit
       committee.

(3)    In this statement under oath, each of the following, if filed on or
       before the date of this statement, is a "covered report":

          o     Annual Report on Form 10-K of L&P for the fiscal year ended
                December 31, 2001, filed on March 28, 2002 with the Commission;

          o     all reports on Form 10-Q, all reports on Form 8-K and all
                definitive proxy materials of L&P filed with the Commission
                subsequent to the filing of the Form 10-K identified above; and

          o     any amendments to any of the foregoing.
