The present disclosure relates to extrusion-coated structural systems including at least one extruded profile member coupled to and extending outwardly from an extrusion-coated structural member, as well as methods of making and using the same. Structural systems of the present invention that include at least one extruded profile member may exhibit enhanced flexibility, functionality, and/or durability. Structural systems according to embodiments of the present invention can be suitable for use in a variety of applications, including in ready-to-assemble furniture or cabinetry applications or as building and construction materials such as wall board, flooring, trim, and the like. 1. A method of making an extrusion-coated structural system , said method comprising:extrusion coating a coating material onto at least a portion of a substrate to form an extrusion-coated structural member,wherein said extrusion coating forms at least one extruded profile member extending outwardly from said substrate for a maximum distance that is at least two times greater than the average thickness of said coating material coated onto said substrate proximate said extruded profile member,wherein at least 75 percent of the total volume of said extruded profile member is formed of said coating material, andwherein said extrusion-coated structural member further comprises a profile recess at least partially defined by said extruded profile member.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said coating material is applied to said substrate at the same time that said extruded profile member is formed.3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said extruded profile member extends outwardly from said substrate for a maximum distance that is at least five times greater than the average thickness of said coating material coated onto said substrate adjacent said extruded profile member.4. The method of claim 1 , wherein at least about 5 percent of the total weight of said coating material applied during said ...
