Welcome, Michelle! We love St. Louis — the home of the best vintage steel cabinet sets and our favorite time capsule ever.

Thanks for your post on Profile by Drexel. I have a K-95 desk. I was just looking under the drawer and Googled the words printed there and jumped right to your site!

Thank you for your awesome resource! Been looking out for some night stands and happened on two that caught my eye big time. Obviously well built and incredible design. Just donated to a local thrift store. How much? I ask. Oh, how about $8 each the attendant asks. After I take them home and clean them up I find the Drexel name in the drawer and thanks to your site I find out they are the K-25 night stands! I was going to paint them. Now think will leave them as they are. Woo-hoo!!

Thanks for posting this. I have a 1958 Profile desk and love learning about the line.

I just found this website and think it’s great. I just purchased a Drexel Profile triple dresser with the original mirror and the 6 drawer chest today for *$35.00* -total. I know, I couldn’t believe it either! They need a little TLC and cleaning but are very sturdy. Is it wrong to put a new coat of stain on them? I would like to stay true to the color that is there already. Also, does anyone know how to freshen up the handles? They are a little weather worn it looks like. I am not sure what they are made of and don’t want to ruin them. They are gorgeous! They look sort of like a brushed nickel finish. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks for the info and for such a fun website!

Femme1 – this ENTIRE set offers so much eye candy. Thank you again! Everyone: truly, click on the first thumbnail, it will open up quite large…then you can use the arrow at the bottom to go thru the whole set. They are delicious!

Thank you for those nice words, Jacqui – and the goddess rights (or rites tee hee) go to Femme1 today. Welcome to the blog!

You are a goddess!

We recently realized our second hand furniture store purchase was a Drexel Profile set, which saved the table from being “redesigned” by a local craftsman. Instead, we’re looking to swap our table or purchase another Drexel Profile set that offers leaves.

Anyhoo, this is a fabulous resource! Nicely done!

Continued success,
Jacqui
