News Release

               BASSETT AND COSTA BRAVA END POTENTIAL PROXY CONTEST
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(Bassett, Va.; Boston, MA) - April 10, 2008 - Bassett Furniture Industries Inc.
(Nasdaq: BSET) and Costa Brava Partnership III L.P. today announced that they
have resolved their potential proxy contest.

Pursuant to an agreement entered into today, Costa Brava will support the
nominees proposed by Bassett for election and will withdraw its proposed
nominees for election to the Bassett Board of Directors at the 2008 Annual
Meeting of Bassett's stockholders. Bassett and Costa Brava have agreed that a
mutually agreed upon shareholder representative may attend the Board meetings as
an observer for a certain period of time. Bassett will withdraw the litigation
between the parties pending in the Circuit Court of the County of Henry,
Virginia.

"We are pleased to have reached this settlement with Costa Brava, which we
believe is in the best interests of all Bassett shareholders, customers and
employees," said Robert Spilman Jr., Bassett's CEO. "The plan to return capital
to shareholders outlined by the Board is the result of several months of work by
the management of the Company, its Board and its advisors, including most
recently assistance from investment bank Stephens Inc. and conversations with
several of the Company's major shareholders, including Costa Brava. It is time
to redirect all of the company's efforts to the business." Mr. Spilman
concluded, "I want to thank all of Bassett's shareholders, employees, dealers
and customers for their support of, and dedication to, our business during this
period."

Seth Hamot, the president of Roark, Rearden & Hamot, LLC, which is the general
partner of Costa Brava likewise stated, "We are pleased to have reached this
agreement with Bassett and strongly believe that it is in the best interests of
all Bassett shareholders, employees, dealers and customers. We support the
Board's recent announcements regarding its plan to unlock shareholder value and
look forward to its implementation."

The agreement between Bassett and Costa Brava also includes customary standstill
and expenses reimbursement provisions.
