I am an Interior Designer and would like pricing and availability on several of your pieces. Do you offer a trade discount?
We would be happy to give you the contact information for the Drexel Heritage Sales Representative in your area that would be able to discuss possible options with you. Please send us the city and state that you are located in so we may direct you to the correct representative.


Casegoods
What is the difference between a King and a California King bed?
California King beds are 4 inches narrower and 4 inches longer than a regular King size bed.

What does veneer mean?
Veneer is a thin slice of wood used on the face of the furniture to achieve a specific 'look' for that surface.


Discontinued Product
How can I get information about my older product?
We can try to assist you with a collection name and perhaps a production time frame if you can supply us with the item number of the piece. Most items numbers are in the format of three digits a dash and three more digits and should be located on the back or underneath your piece. For furniture older than 40 years, the item number may vary. Unfortunately we are not able to assist in identifying Upholstered items such as sofas and chairs.

Why can't I find Drexel Heritage pieces on the website?
Our website only features active pieces and collections. If you cannot locate a specific piece on our webiste then it has been discontinued.

I would like to add pieces to my collection. How do I do that?
We would first need to determine if your collection is currently active or discontinued. If the collection is current and on our website, please see your local Drexel Heritage dealer for assistance in purchasing the pieces. Please note that the finish may vary due to the difference in production time frames. If the item has been discontinued, your Drexel Heritage dealer may be able to assist you in finding pieces that would compliment your older set, either in a similar finish or painted finish. To assist the dealer, we suggest that you take a sample of your current finish with you, if that is available (i.e. drawer).

Can you tell me the value of my furniture?
Discontinued Product Inquiries: There are many factors involved in assigning value to older discontinued pieces. Unfortunately since we do not have expertise in this area, we recommend you contact a local furniture appraiser or antique dealer for the current market value of older furniture of any brand.


General
My dealer is giving me a different price than what is on the website. Why is that?
The majority of locations that sell Drexel Heritage products are owned and operated independently and have the prerogative, by law, to price items within their own policy. The price shown on the website is a "minimum" price. We ask the dealers not to sell below the suggested minimum price unless authorized by Drexel Heritage during a sales promotion. The prices shown on the internet are for the item as standard and do not include any upgrades or options that may change the price of the item. Upholstered prices are shown at a grade one fabric or leather.

I am getting insufficient information on my order status from my dealer. Can you give me my order status?
Since we do not sell directly to the public we can only release information to the dealer that placed the order. If you would like to give us your order details, including the dealer's name and location, order number, item numbers and the name used to place the order, we would be happy to contact the dealer to advise them of your request.

Can you send me fabric or finish samples? My dealer may not have a complete set.
If you would be kind enough to give us the name and location of your dealer, we would be happy to contact the Sales Representative that services your dealer so that they can assist the dealer with any questions on samples. Since we do not sell directly to the public, we are only able to send samples to our dealers.

I am looking for a specific piece of furniture and want to find a dealer that has it on display. Can you direct me to someone that has that piece?
The dealers do not always notify us of what particular pieces they have chosen to display on their showroom floor or when they make changes. We suggest using our dealer locator to contact your local dealer directly to see if your particular item is on display.

I would like my piece repaired by Drexel Heritage. Can you repair it or do you have authorized repair services in my area?
Unfortunately we do not have repair services at the factory or authorized repair services around the country. We suggest contacting your local Drexel Heritage dealer to see if they can suggest a local repair service to assist you. You can also contact the following national toll free referral serives who can assist you in locating someone in your area. Furniture Medic (800-969-2071) or National Home Repair (800-332-2747).

I love my older Drexel Heritage sofa and chair but would like to replace the cushions. How do I do that?
It may be possible to purchase replacement cushion cores for your older upholstery if the cushion core pattern is still available. Generally, if the items are less than 15 years old, we can still have the cores made. Please visit your local Drexel Heritage dealer to inquire about availability and pricing.

Are your dealer's showrooms or can I buy stock directly from their warehouse?
Our dealers are generally showrooms that custom order your product directly from us. However, there are occasions when the dealer may have some pieces in stock so we suggest contacting your local dealer and inquiring about the specific piece you are looking for.

Where is the item number or fabric number located?
The item number for case good pieces is usually three digits and a dash followed by three more digits (i.e. 123-456), if the piece is less than 40 years old, and is generally located on the back or bottom of the piece. For upholstery, the item number is generally a letter followed by two to four digits, a dash and two or three more letters. This number can normally be found on the "do not remove by law" tag underneath your cushion. The fabric number may also be located on the "law tag" next to "cover" or "body".

How do I clean my fabric?
Professional Cleaning Service or Dry Cleaning is recommended. Each fabric has an industry cleaning code assigned to it to assist in determining how to clean it. Code “S” Instruct a professional cleaning service to clean these fabrics with pure solvents. Petroleum distillate-based products may be used. Caution: use of water-based or detergent-based solvent cleaner may cause excessive shrinking. Water stains may become permanent and unable to be removed with solvent cleaning agents. Code “W” Instruct a professional cleaning service to clean these fabrics with water-based cleaning agents or water-based foam to remove overall soil. Many cleaning agents are harmful to the color and the life of the fabric and testing on an inconspicuous area is recommended before overall cleaning. Cushion and pillow covers should not be removed for cleaning. Code “SW” Instruct a professional cleaning service to clean these fabrics with water-based cleaning agents, foam or pure solvents. Petroleum distillate-based products may be used. Cushion and pillow covers should not be removed for cleaning. Code “X” Clean these fabrics only by vacuuming or light brushing to prevent accumulation of dust and grime. Water-based foam or solvent-based cleaning agents of any kind may cause excessive shrinking or fading.

For a list of authorized dealers in your area, please visit the dealer locator on our website. If your collection is not listed on our website then the collection has been discontinued.
