We have a Martha Stewart outdoor patio set (six piece) round table w/lazy susan. We store it every winter down stairs in our basement (well protected) We were down stairs and we heard a hugh crash. Looked over, only to see the glass top of my table in a million pieces. However, which is strange but the lazy susan was still in one piece. For no apparent reason this glass just made a loud noise & shattered. glass every where, scratched up the flooring, while trying to sweep it up. The table is now a none function table.

In the middle of the night on January 30, 2010 our Martha Stewart glass top table that we purchased from KMART shattered into a million little pieces scaring us and out neighbors who thought someon was breaking into their house. It was that loud. We have had this table since 2005 and have never had a problem with it. It sat on our inclosed pation since 2005 and since we live in Florida we have never had to move it. We are just thankful that no one was sitting at the table. We had been sitting at the table earlier that day. So in a way I am glad it happened late at night.

I called about the Martha Stewart patio table that shattered in my back yard. I requesting that the table is replace or I should be reimbursed for the defected table. I was advise from the representative that the don't carry that table and the manufacture company is no longer in business and that it was nothing that could be done about the defected table. GLass in the back yard and broken of other patio furniture because fo the shattered glass.

i have a martha stewart patio set, octogonal glass table with 6 chairs. in this case the table is fine but the chair mesh is rotting; this is the part between the frames of the chairs and goes from the seat area to the top of the back area. the chairs are always put in a sheltered area every winter so it isn't due to bad conditions.

I purchased the Martha Stewart wooden Marlton dining set in April, and by August, the wood was beginning to split. It now looks like a very cheap wooden outdoor dining set that I have had for many years.

Martha Stewart Olympia Collection - looked out my window this morning and the glass top of my table was shattered. Nothing seemed to be amiss. Bought the set in 2006- have taken very good care of it.

On a calm, sunny, cool day in November my patio table, which was stored carefully under a covered patio for the winter, shattered into a million pieces. My husband and I loved the patio set and took very good care of it. There was nothing external that happened that could have damaged this table. I'm so disappointed! We are now among many others who have been the victims of shoddy workmanship or who have received a flawed product without our knowledge. No more KMart or Martha Stewart products for us - especially since it appears neither will do anything to stand behind their product.

Purchased Martha Stewart table set for patio in May of 2005. The table sat under a pergola. It had not been abused. We are a retired couple and had used the table very little. We were not even near the table (thank goodness) when there was a loud explosive-like noise and the glass top shattered all to pieces. Glass flew everywhere. Very disappointed in the quality of this table and K-mart offered no help in this matter. Very expensive way to learn just because Martha's name is on something does not mean it is good quality. I will not buy another glass top table. It was item AS-359-3T. If you have this table, I would suggest you destroy so no one gets cut or has an eye put out from flying glass.
