Martha Stewart Outdoor Furniture

I bought two Martha Stewart 7 piece glass top patio sets, for my vacation home, in 2009. One of the table's glass tops exploded this weekend. The table was on my deck, and I was looking out the kitchen window when it just shattered. No one was on the deck. It just went. how long will it be, before the other one explodes?

I have a patio set less than four months old and the cushions look like they have been used for years. They are just awful and they did not hold their shape at all. Please call me. I need a replacement. This was not how a $100 set should be like.

We purchased the Martha Stewart Patio Captiva 7-piece dining set on 5/11. It is now buckling and cracking into pieces. We paid $1000 for this set that lasted 6 months.

I purchased a Martha Stewart patio dining set with the lazy Susan table. After not even 1 year, each chair cushion starting disintegrating! I looked at replacement cost and it would be about $300.00! I expect better quality products from Martha Stewart Enterprises. I would like to be advised how to return these and have them replaced. I have company coming in 6 weeks! Thus furniture is an embarrassment!

I bought the Miramar II table and chairs. It has not been two years and the backs of the chairs are falling apart. My friends also bought one after seeing mine and theirs is falling apart. Martha should be ashamed.

I, too, purchased the Martha Stewart 7-piece mallorca patio set in June 2011. I had already seen rust about a month later. After reading all the complaints about the glass tops exploding, I shall be, apparently, waiting for that too! What kind of quality control is there? Is the glass not tempered properly? Is it even made in this country?

I would like to know if you got all my claims. Please let me know what's going on with it. I made a claim with you last month.

I just purchased my furniture this summer 2011. I already have rust and it's only been a few months! I think it should last more than 3 months.

My table exploded! I have the Olympia 7-pc. collection with the fern patterned tempered glass top. I walked out on my deck yesterday and it was shattered in a million pieces. Thank God it happened in the middle of the night and no one was hurt. It makes me so angry to see that I am one of so many who have had the same problem. Why would you ever purchase a Martha Stewart product again after a scary experience like this?

I ordered a patio furniture set online last January. The table on the set is starting to fall apart. I would like it replaced.

5 PM EST, my husband and I heard a loud noise thinking a shelf had fallen. We looked out onto our side porch and the Martha Stewart Outdoor table (set purchased from K-Mart) had shattered into hundreds of pieces. Some glass pieces found several feet away. Table is in an enclosed covered porch. Outside temp is 79 degrees. No one on or near the porch all day. No pets, no children. No type of impact caused this.

On Easter Sunday, my patio table also shattered! Thank God we had taken all the children in to do photos, or someone could have gotten seriously hurt! Now I have a table with no glass and I am upset that there is nothing I can do! You would think we could get a credit for what it costs to replace the glass or better yet buy a new patio set. I have the matching bar set also and I am now scared that the top will do the same thing with people sitting at it. Is there no help for us consumers?

We purchased our Martha Stewart Mallorca collection on 5/27/11; it was a seven-piece dining set, and the glass top of the table exploded last night (10/27/11). My husband and I swept up as much as we could in the dark. Much more work has to be done to clean the chunks of glass that are in the grass around the deck, and the chunks stuck in the spaces in between the deck boards. We had no idea that there were these types of issues with the table. Who really expects their five month old table to explode? It wasn't until ours did that we saw everyone else online with the same problem. This is absurd that Home Depot is still selling a product that has been exploding for several years. Do not buy this product!

The glass tabletop on my Martha Stewart patio table shattered without any apparent cause. It was impact glass, and it took hours to clean up.

I bought a Martha Stewart patio set in 2008. The complete set is nice and we have enjoyed it since purchasing. Two weeks ago the glass top for the table spontaneously exploded, and shattered into thousands of tiny sharp pieces all over the deck. Nobody was injured. I am filing this complaint as my only option for satisfaction. Thank you.

I purchased a patio set of Martha Stewart approximately 18 months ago. The set is on my covered front porch. In less than six months the cushions appeared burned. I complained at the store where I made the purchase that my cushions were melting with no direct sun light on them. The employee said he had heard that complaint over and over and referred me to a customer service hotline. They apparently have heard the same complaint one too many times because the lady I spoke with was rude and tried to make it my fault that the cushions were melting. They had scorch marks across them as though someone had set them on fire. If I hadn't seen them melt before my eyes I would have been skeptical as well. At any rate they reluctantly replaced the cushions and said the new cushions were fire proof. Wrong! The new ones are doing the same thing, and now the company doesn't want to issue a refund. Guess I can kiss that money good-bye. I know what I won't look for next time I decide to purchase patio furniture!

I purchased a Martha Stewart Miramar II seating in June 2011. The set wasn't taken out of the box until two weeks ago, due to the renovation of the enclosed porch. The sofa had a bent leg. We tried to straighten the leg but ended up cracking the sofa frame. I contacted Home Depot, who said it's past the 90-day of purchase plus it was a seasonal furniture. Home Depot suggested contacting Martha Stewart Website. This was an unsuccessful adventure. I contacted Home Depot once again and was told by the head of this department that Hampton Bay Patio Furniture was the manufacturer and to file a complaint about my patio furniture. I'm hoping to hear from someone soon.

In the middle of the night, we heard a loud crash and woke up to see our Martha Stewart table in a million of pieces. The glass shattered completely out of the blue. It was very disappointing. (The Lazy Susan top was intact.)

The clean up took hours because it was on an upper deck and many pieces got stuck in the wood slats and lots fell to the patio. What a mess!

We purchased patio table with lazy susan and 5 chair set on 5/20/04, we paid a total of $435.99. On 6/29/11, we found the glass table top shattered in millions of pieces. The lazy susan was not affected. As there was no evidence of vandalism and since this is a household of only two seniors in their 70's and 80's, we could only assume that the recent hot weather was a catalyst in the breakage. Since then, I have been attempting to replace the glass. In checking a couple of K Mart stores, the clerks were unaware of any replacement being available.

I attempted to contact Martha **, since we knew that it was an MS design. While searching the internet, I found the information cited therein concerning the history of these tables and I am therefore reporting our experience and complaint. Because of the length of time between purchase and breakage, we had some difficulty in finding the purchase receipt. We finally found it recently together with our Master Card receipts, with which the final $392.99 was paid on 5/20/04. The receipt is so faded that it is difficult to read, but we were able to ascertain the cost:

Total: $435.99

We are also able to ascertain that we purchased the set at the K Mart shown above. In checking with that store on 10/10/11, we spoke to Jill, I believe in Customer Service who said that they haven't handled Martha Stewart products in a couple of years and was unable to be of further assistance. I would not expect present employees of K Mart to be in any way culpable. If anyone is culpable it would be Martha Stewart enterprises.

I purchased a Charlottetown Resin Wicker Motion Chair in April 2011. The chair has a metal base that is the swivel part of the chair. The metal base bent after little use. This chair is used inside, so weather would not be the cause of my problem. I have been trying to contact "customer service" for Martha Stewart patio furniture, but can't seem to find how to do that. Home Depot gave me a web address to go to but it doesn't seem to exist. Home Depot told me that I have to contact the manufacturer to deal with my problem. How to contact the "manufacturer" seems to be a well-hidden secret. Can anyone tell me how to contact them?

Prior to yesterday, I would have recommended this set to anyone. I was extremely pleased with and enjoyed using this set but yesterday morning, after four seasons of use, our Martha Stewart Melrose table top exploded into thousands of tiny pieces. It was extremely difficult to sweep up as the pieces were so small. There will be shards of this glass top stuck between the deck flooring for years to come. As it seems, we have no recourse from either Martha Stewart Living or the stores that sold these inferior products. I will go out of my way to inform everyone I know about this serious consumer issue including my state's attorney general and office of Consumer Affairs.

I purchased a Martha Steward Patio Set (only had 3 years) with a Glass Top Lazy Susan. The glass table top exploded without warning. I paid $545.00 for this.

We purchased Martha Stewart Patio furniture on 6/23/08 (glass table top, 6 chairs, umbrella and stand). We found the glass shattered all over the deck with no apparent cause. Now, upon trying to find a replacement, we discovered that there have been many similar unexplainable implosions of these tempered glass table tops. One replacement company advised us that the glass was fitted too tightly with no room for expansion, causing the shattering for no apparent reason.

We have called Numark, who denies any defect in the table top, though admitting that some other Martha Stewart tables were under recall but supposedly not theirs. Since our table shattered as described by other consumers, we question their response. In any case, a replacement top would cost over $150, which we feel is unfair since we did not damage the top. Have we been given correct information? Doesn't the huge Martha Stewart Corporation stand by their products and more importantly their safety?

The patio set I bought is aluminum. The six screws holding on the rubber feet on the bottom of the swivel rockers are steel. They now have left rust stains all over my pool deck. I tried to replace them but they have rusted so bad that I can't. This set is 1 year old.

Less than a year ago, I bought the entire Martha Stewart Miramar Living furniture that included 8-piece dining set, Living patio set, 4 chaise lounges, 2 end tables, and 2 coffee tables. They never included the two end swivel chairs for dining set, so I purchased two more regular patio chairs. The chaise lounge cushions are all split in about 20 different places. They are all discolored, even the ones under patio in shade. I need to order more cushions for the 3 chaise lounges. Home Decorators won't sell them separately. It will be quite expensive to order all new matching cushions. I am very unhappy. Can you help? Also, Home Depot does not have them. This is the first Miramar, not Miramar 11.

I bought a 5-piece outdoor furniture set from Home depot. Make certain it was powder coated because the frame is steel. It has rust on every chair and on the table, and it is only 10 months old. I was told that because it was over 90 days, I would have to call the manufacturer. The manufacturer is Home Casual. I was told I should not have purchased this item for on the ocean. Why is it being sold on an island?

My glass patio table exploded. It shattered all over my patio. I can no longer use my patio table.

We had purchased a Martha Stewart patio set several years ago at our local Kmart. Last week, we noticed that the glass was shattered into a million pieces all over the deck for no apparent reason. Clean up has been difficult since there are so many small pieces and many are stuck in between the gaps in our deck boards. Many fell through the gaps, as well and are now mixed with the river rock below our deck. Also, we believe our cat was sitting in one of the chairs when the glass shattered because he was acting very strange that day and has been scared to go back on the deck.

The Martha Stewart glass table top on my patio table shattered this summer. Since I did not witness it happening, I am not 100% certain that it wasn't caused by vandalism or other reason; however, I live in a quiet neighborhood in a low-crime area, and the deck is protected from the street. Based on my research of a prevalence of Martha Stewart tables shattering, poor manufacturing appears to be the likely reason. I have owned the table for more than 8 years and have been very happy with the product up until now.

I had bought a patio set from Kmart, last spring. Yesterday, the top on it shattered for no reason. It was warm and windy yesterday, so I have the glass in my shop vacuumed and the frame of the table is on my back porch. I loved this table and we used it a lot. I would hope they would replace it or refund me something.

I purchased the entire Martha Stewart patio set with glass table and Lazy Susan in June 2011. I came home today to find that the glass table had shattered into a million tiny pieces for no apparent reason. The small glass top for the Lazy Susan was intact and sitting on the ground. I had sent over $700 for this set that is no longer usable. I cannot find any information for the table top replacement for this Martha Stewart set.

I just saw my local news this morning, WPXI - Pittsburgh. I saw a story on the patio furniture made by Martha Stewart. The table shattered. The same thing happened to mine about a month or two ago. I would like to know how to file a claim. Thanks.

Glass on the patio table shattered into thousands of pieces for no reason.

On September 5, 2011, for no reason, the glass on my patio table shattered into a million pieces.

This seems to be a reoccurring problem to a lot of customers.

I bought a Martha Living patio set less than a year ago. The legs snapped on the rocker and I'm nowhere near 300 lb. limit!

I bought a Martha Stewart patio set one year ago. It was kept inside during the winter. I put it back out in April of 2011. Every seat cushions, including the chaise lounge cushions, split and they have faded to a totally different color. One summer use and they are all split in several places. The cushions are now unusable. Martha, you should be ashamed. But I guess you learned something in prison, after all.

My Pacific Palisades Dining Table (outdoor furniture) exploded into thousands of small pieces. I've had the set a little over 2 years. I purchased it from our local K-Mart with code # 780-225015-114 and item # SC-160-1T/2.

No one was outside in our yard at the time, so there was no misuse of this product. My husband and I heard a shattering noise from our living room, looked outside and it was laying on the patio pavement in pieces.

I was online looking for a replacement tabletop when I found that this spontaneous breakage has happened to many other owners of this manufacturer's tables. I found an article on ** and called the number in the article. The K-Mart representative referred me to their Patio Hotline 1-888-289-8616, which is a Sears number.

Thank you.

We were short of 2 height adjusters at the bottom of our Martha Stewart Miramar 11 patio set. We looked at the bottom of the box. The height adjusters weren't there either.

We purchased a Martha Stewart patio furniture with umbrella in the summer of 2010. When we read the warnings, it said it would not withstand sun, wind and rain. What in the world? It is a patio umbrella! But anyway, we were extremely careful. We brought it in the house ext. Now just one year later, the umbrella is dry rot, it is split in several places and will be thrown in the garbage. We will never purchase a Martha Stewart product again

We purchased a Martha Stewart outdoor dining set and received it in June. Less than two months later, the glass portion of the table was completely shattered all over our deck, pieces fell through the cracks and underneath the table. Luckily, our children and dog were nowhere near it when it happened. I checked online to see if I could get a replacement part and have not been able to find one.

I looked out into the patio room and saw that the Martha Stewart coffee tabletop we purchased at K-Mart in 2002 had shattered. Fortunately, no one was in the room. With all the similar reports, there seems to be a major problem with Martha Stewart tabletops.

I bought a patio table set and the glass table top exploded into tiny pieces.

We had purchased a Martha Stewart Welland 5-Piece Dining Set on July 23rd 2011. The following day, we assembled the set and placed it in the yard patio and sat around it and had a glass of wine that evening.

Two days later, we awoke and while looking outside in the morning, we had noticed that the glass top appeared to be missing from the table. Upon closer examination, we discovered that the top had exploded into a thousand small pieces for no apparent reason. Nothing had hit the table; the glass imploded on its own. Now, I have a $339.00 outdoor set that cannot be fully used.

My Martha Stewart glass table shattered into a million little pieces without any apparent cause. Scary! Is there any recourse?

We purchased the Mallorca 7-piece outdoor patio set around the 15th of June 2011. We used it twice and then, when no one was outside, the glass shattered into thousands of small pieces. This was before the end of June. We assumed it would not be covered and did not file a complaint with Home Depot where we purchased the patio set.

I have shopped Martha Stewart outdoor furniture and had almost decided which deep-seating set I was going to order. Thank goodness I came across this web site. Thank you to all the people who left complaints. You saved me from making a $1,500.00 mistake. I am back to looking for other patio furniture that isn't Martha Stewart.

My husband and I purchased a Martha Stewart Living Cascade Valley Dining Set of 7 Pieces at Home Depot in Everett, Ma. It was purchased on May 28th 2011. On August 15th, about 3pm, my son and I heard a loud bang in the yard area. We ran out to the deck and found that the glass insert on the table has exploded. Glass was everywhere, I am lucky it was raining and no one was on the deck or it would have been catastrophic. Because the glass table exploded, I could have glass in my pool.

I did some research and the manufacturer JRA Furniture, headquartered in Cerritos, California, declared bankruptcy in 2007 due to pending lawsuits. Why is this unsafe product still sold in 2011 if the company went out of business in 2007. There are pages of complaints, the same or worse than mine, available by googling Martha Stewart patio table shattering.

What happened to Consumer protection? This is a safety issue and nothing is done to stop these stores from stocking these tables. The implied warranty of merchantability is a merchant's basic promise that the goods sold will do what they are supposed to do and that there is nothing significantly wrong with them. In other words, it is an implied promise that the goods are fit to be sold. I will be expecting a complete refund from Home Depot.

On a Sunday, in August 2011, at around 8:30 am, I heard a loud noise. I looked outside. The glass to the Martha Stewart 5-piece Welland set that I purchased in July at Home Depot, completely shattered. Shards of glass were all over the deck and were stuck within the crevices. What a mess! The cost of the set was 300+ and it only lasted a month. I am disappointed. I contacted Home Depot regarding replacing the glass top. And they directed me to email my request to product@marthastewart.com. He (Home Depot customer service rep) stated that the Martha Stewart company provided Home Depot with that email address for this type of matter. I took a photo of the set and sent an email asking for directives on how and where I could get a new glass top. I haven't received a response.

We purchased a Martha Stewart large round glass table with a lazy Susan and 5 chairs from KMart about 8 years ago. On Aug 9, 2011, while we were sitting in the living room, we heard an extremely loud swishing noise on the patio. When we walked onto our patio, we found the entire glass top from the Martha Stewart table shattered into thousands of tiny pieces all over the patio floor. The lazy Susan was completely intact.

The Martha Steward round patio with glass top we purchased from KMart just exploded into untold thousands of pieces! We were sitting quietly in the living room when a HUGE bang sounded. The table was in the breakfast room, no one was around it.

I had a Martha Stewart octagon shaped patio table purchased from Kmart approx 10 years ago. Last night when I got home from work, it shattered into a million pieces. Nothing had fallen on it and it was in the shade under the roof of my back porch.

My round Martha Stewart table exploded today. I bought it in 2001. It had a lazy Susan on top that is still intact.

We were going to sit outside at our outdoor patio furniture by Martha Stewart. We bought the patio furniture 2 years ago. The glass top spontaneously shattered into a million pieces.

Same as every one else here. Middle of the night my glass table top shattered into millions of pieces. Thought it was tempered, but there were dangerous shards of glass everywhere. Took two hours to get as much as I could off the wooden deck. I hope I got it all. 3 small grandchildren and 3 dogs. What a mess, have no idea what happened.

I have a Martha Stewart glass patio table on my deck, in the middle of the night I hear this loud noise like someone just broke in the house looking around find that its patio table glass top small pieces of glass all over the deck, glad no one was sitting at it or my granddaughter wasnt out there walking around, would not recommend anyone to buy any of martha steward glass products

I purchased a Martha Stewart outdoor patio set (4 swivel chairs and an umbrella table) last spring. This summer, I noticed that all the welds are rusting and the black finish is discoloring to a faded white. While the table has not yet imploded, I suspect that will be the final blow for this set.

Our Martha Stewart table top exploded on 7/30/11.

I purchased a 7-piece Martha Stewart patio set with Lazy Susan about 3 years ago at Kmart in Covington, GA. It is on a covered patio and looks or looked like new. Today, July 30, 2011, I heard a loud noise and looked out and the table top is on the outdoor carpet in a million pieces. Is there anything I can do to get a new top that does not cost me?

Purchased an outside Martha Stewart umbrella Table with chairs (bar height). The glass table top shattered to pieces on its own.

This morning at 4am, we were awakened by a large boom and noise of glass shattering. It sounded like someone was breaking into our house but it was actually our Martha Stewart patio table exploding and the glass jar with candles on top breaking. There were tiny pieces of safety glass everywhere.

I am thankful that it didn't happen the last evening that we had entertained our son, daughter-in-law and two-year old granddaughter. I was shocked to find so many complaints about this very same experience.

We purchased a Martha Stewart large round glass table with a lazy Susan and 5 chairs from KMart about 10 years ago.

On July 24, 2011, while we were sitting in the living room, we heard an extremely loud noise. When we walked into our breakfast room, we found the entire glass top, from the Martha Stewart table, shattered into thousands of tiny pieces all over the floor. The lazy Susan was completely intact.

I bought a Martha Stewart Mallorca 7-piece set last summer from Home Depot and used it a couple of times before the end of the summer last year. I put it away during the winter and got it back out this summer.

Temperatures were unusually high this past week. When I went outside to my patio set, the glass top of the table exploded into millions of pieces.

I purchased a Martha Stewart hexagon glass patio dining set from Kmart about four years ago. On July 17, 2011, as my son and his friends were sitting at the table eating lunch; the table exploded into tiny little glass cubes, and everything came crashing down on their feet under the table.

We purchased the Martha Stuart Mallorca 7-piece patio set from Home Depot on April 2, 2011. Yesterday, July 20, 2011, I heard a loud noise and upon investigation, I discovered that the glass top of the table had shattered into millions of pieces. There was not any storm or bad weather happening at the time. It is July in New England and it is hot outside.

When we called Home Depot, we were directed to Home Casuals, the manufacturer of Martha Stewart's furniture. We were told by Carmilla that there was really nothing she could do for us. It was only a 10-day warranty on the glass, and anyway they did not have any in stock and she didn't know when they would be getting them in from China. She recommended we call a glass company and have one made. When we pushed further for a replacement, she said they would, if they actually got them in, and it would cost about $200. She was ill-informed and very rude. When my husband asked to speak to her manager/supervisor, she informed him that she couldn't find her. He left the number to call us back but we never received the call. He called again to find that the office had closed and she failed to explain that to us as well.

Today, I have left a message and still have not heard back from them. An email was also sent via their website. We found today that this has happened to hundreds of other customers.

Back in 2007, we purchased a Martha Stewart glass top patio table from Kmart. Approximately two weeks ago, we found the glass top had exploded into million tiny pieces. Until now, we had no idea what happened. We have a huge aluminum awning covering our patio and nothing could have fallen on it nor could anyone have thrown something and hit it. We then searched the internet for a replacement top and read about the many other incidences just like ours.

No one was home at the time. It was just a matter of cleaning up the glass. Our concern now is that we also had purchased a round table from Kmart, also a Martha Stewart, for our summer home at the end of the summer of 2008. We are now afraid to use it.

I purchased the Victoria Collection six dining set from K-Mart for around $400.00. This set has been under cover at all times since the purchase. At present time in a netted gazibo in a secluded tiled patio. On July 3, 2011, I found the glass table top had exploded. (I have pictures). Nothing had fallen on it. I was completely baffled until a friend of mine googled and asked me if the set was a Martha Stewart Set. I had gotten out my book on it to see where I could get a glass replacement and told her it was. She directed me to this site and solved the mistry.

I am amazed that something has not been done about this for all the complaints on this page going back years. It is a miracle no one has suffered major injury, especially eye damage. I have taken very good care of this set and the chairs and cushions are still beautiful. That is why I marked four stars.

I purchased a patio set on 5-10-2009 I immediately had a problem with one chair and the company sent out a new one.

Sunday July 17, 2011 we were sitting at the table for lunch. We heard a pop and the entire table went down with the food and all. My 7 yr. old grandson was cut on his foot and we are greatful noone else was hurt. This is where the problem begins. I was told KMart is not responsible and they no longer carry Martha Stewart's line. I was given a number for the Numar Co. which is the manufacturer. I spoke with a supervisor named Kim and explained what happened. She immediately explained that there is no warranty on the glass of the table. I asked why not and she replied it is like a windshield and when it breaks it shatters. I explained you can buy insurance to cover windhsields and I was not notified of any insurance they offered for glass protection, she replied because they don't offer any. I asked if I could buy the glass and was told "NO" because they don't ship glass. I asked if I could buy the table and she said yes. I immediately asked isn't that shipping glass? She replied with I am sorry but that particular table is no longer available. I stated the table is in the third season of use and $400.00 is a lot of money for not quite 3 seasons yet.

I asked to speak with her supervisor and she said I could leave my tel.# and someone would get back to me. I asked how long of a wait and she said 24 hours. I asked who would I be speaking with and she didn't know. I am complaining because it could have been more serious and upon research the Martha Stewart collection has flaws in the glass they use for the tables. I want to be re-imbursed for the table I can't buy again or have the glass replaced at their cost. I believe this is a manufacturer error with all the similar complaints I have viewed.

The warranty clearly states The defective part will be either fixed or replaced at the option of the manufacturer but the original buyer is responsible for shipping and handling.

How can I prove it is a malfunction if all I have is a garbage bag filled with glass? And why is it their option not to honor the warranty? The warranty said "glass table tops are not covered, however if the damage occurs within the warranty time frame they will at their option fix or replace it" This is a disclaimer. My warranty is still in effect!

Martha Stewart coffee table glass shattered for no appearent reason. Bought whole outdoor set, including table with umbrella, in 2005. Dining table has same type of glass.

Martha Stewart Patio Table shattered into very small pieces.

I bought Martha Stewart's seven-piece patio glass table top set a few years ago. I came home one day from work and the glass had shattered into tiny pieces. Until I heard others complaining on the news recently, I thought something fell out of the sky and broke it. Now I know that wasn't the case. Poor and irresponsible manufacturing was to be blamed.

We have an octogone outdoor table from Martha Stewart Living - the glass table top exploded into hundreds of pieces - luckily no one was seated at the table - it simply shattered!!! What is to be done? How do you go about replacing this piece of glass that was suppose to be made for outdoors? The table is ruined!!

On July 11, 2011, my patio table just shattered into pieces on our deck. We were having a sprinkle of rain; and while I was in the shower, I heard an odd noise. When I got out, my table glass was in a million pieces. Now what? The chairs are still good.

Same thing just happened to mine. Sitting at the table while enjoying the outdoors and the glass just shattered. Nothing even on the table. Thank god the kids weren't sitting at it like they were just 2 minutes prior.

I had a Martha Stewart table too and yesterday July 10, 2011 it blew to a million pieces too. It sat under our canopy on the deck. No bad weather just hot and sunny. Heard this pop and crash so happy no one was near since pieces flew everywhere. It has a design and a smaller round lazy susan style on top.

My table is no even a year old... I was putting the umbrella in the table. When I was adjusting the pole it broke into million pieces... Thank God nobody got hurt.. It took over 3 hours to clean up...

during a storm. glass popped to millions of pieces. it was just rain. deck was full of glass. the table wasn't brand new,but i loved the table,it had a raised glass design on the under side of the glass. thought glass would last forever. table wasn't abused. now we have no table and probably will be without until 012.

I have a martha stewart living table and it exploded july 8 2011

We purchased a Martha Stewart Living Picnic set from K-Mart a few years agol The top to the picnic table exploded in our back yard while we were at work.

Our Martha Stewart glass table top exploded. My two year old son and I were luckily inside at the time. I purchased the round glass table with lazy susan and 5 patio chairs from K Mart a few years ago. Took forever to clean up all of the glass shards. Will not purchase anything made by Martha Stewart again.

We bought our Martha Stewart octagon table and six chairs early April of 2011. We have had it for three months and the table exploded. I've also noticed rust spots on the chairs. We bought it at Home Depot and will be asking for a refund. I just hope we get it. I will never buy another Martha Stewart table. Her quality has really declined.

We purchased a Martha Stewart 7 Piece Patio Set during June 2011. This week the glass top EXPLODED!!! I wish I had read all of these complaints prior to purchasing, but wonder why Home Depot, KMart, Martha Stewart, etc. allow these dangerous items to continue to be sold. We have a special needs son and it was a miracle that he was not harmed. Home Depot and/or Martha Stewart will not honor a replacement.

I purchased the Martha Steward "Mallorca" dining table, 7 chairs, 2 swivel chairs, side tables & glider in May of 2010. In May of 2011, the glass top table just shattered. Nobody was even outside, thank god, since a month & 1/2 later I am still picking up glass pieces. The quality was not at all what I expected after spending $1300 at Home Depot on the complete set. I called Home Depot to complain who told me to call Martha Stewart who in turn put me back to Home Depot which did nothing. They gave me a $100 GC for my troubles but that doesn't replace my table. The craftsmanship is very poor as the black on the tables faded as did the cushions & the glass just explodes by itself with nothing or nobody near it

I came home from work last night to find that my Martha Stewart patio set's glass tabletop had shattered into a million pieces. I had purchased this large set at Kmart at least 5 or more years ago. There was no visible reason for this to have shattered.

We, too, bought a Martha Stewart Living Patio set in May of 2002 at Kmart. Last Sunday (7/3/11), we awoke to a shattered table. Totally out of the blue.

I purchased a Martha Stewart Patio set a few years ago. Today, we came home to find it shattered in at least a "million" pieces. It looks like it simply exploded. I am very thankful that no one was sitting around the table, as someone certainly would have been harmed.

My family, including two-year-old and 10-year-old daughters, were sitting outside tonight, Sunday, July 3, 2011 at our back patio around the Martha Stewart Patio furniture we bought from Home Depot. Suddenly, the table top shattered for no reason, sending glass all over them. No one was sitting on or even leaning on the table. Although no one was injured seriously, my children both received minor cuts and scratches and I began bleeding from the glass particles from the chairs as I tried to clean up. This is obviously a serious problem and not just coincidental. There should be a refund for the cost of these patio furniture.

My Martha Stewart patio furniture table top exploded. I purchased this recently from Home Depot. The table suddenly exploded and shattered into pieces. Luckily, no one was hurt! What can we do?

I purchased the seven-piece patio set by Martha Stewart. Yesterday, I returned home to find that the circular glass table top had shattered into million pieces. It seemed to have imploded entirely on its own.

My Martha Steward patio table glass top shattered into a zillion pieces. I was in the house, heard a loud noise, went out to the deck and there was the table with all the glass underneath it.

We came home one day to find our Martha Stewart tabletop had exploded. Glass was shattered everywhere on our deck. The deck is shaded by a tree so the sun has never been in direct contact with the table.

Our Martha Stewart table also exploded when we were gone for the weekend. There was glass strewn everywhere. We purchased it from Kmart about 5 years ago.

Approx 2 weeks ago (12 June 2011) I purchase a 7 piece patio furniture set, which is a Martha Stewart Collection series. It was 97 plus here in Stafford, VA today, and when I returned home from work, I saw that the glass table top had virtually smashed to pieces! Obviously from reading so many other blogs on this, MS has a problem. I bought my set at Home Depot.

I purchased a Martha Stewart patio set from K-mart. We have just put our set up and we were eating dinner and all of a sudden, the entire top of the glass table shattered into a million pieces; and all the food on top of the table fell to the ground. My daughter and I both got cuts on our legs. It just exploded without any warning.

Similar to other complaints, I purchased a six-piece Martha Stewart patio furniture set in 2001 from a local K-Mart, which exploded into a million pieces on our deck, one early morning in early summer 2009. My daughter was home at the time and heard a loud noise and looked out to see this - fortunately, she cleaned it up for us with only minor cuts. After recently hearing about a similar incident on the radio, I googled this to find this site. How can they still market this defective product?

My husband bought me a patio set in 2007. On June 22, 2011, it imploded all by itself. The glass top just shattered everywhere. My son and I were inside at the time and heard a big noise. My husband who was out back came running to see what had happened. It took him a LONG time to clean up the shattered fragments of glass. Then he checked out the prices of new sets -- which he realized we can't afford; so he spent some additional money to build and stain his own wooden tabletop to fit the existing frame.

I've been going in circles with K-Mart -- one tells me to call another and that one sends me back to the first number I called. I don't want a whole new replacement because I no longer have the receipt, but because of this dangerous situation and unexpected shattering of glass, I would like K-Mart to at least pay for the wood and stain my husband had to buy to try to make the table work for us again.

Martha Stewarts tables are still exploding. My expoded in March 2011. It was orginally purchased at Home Depot. About a week ago, today is 06/25/11 there was a story on the local news that some people were eating their dinner here in Denver, and it exploded all over them.

I purchased a Martha Stewart table and chairs with the umbrella several years ago. When I opened my shed last year 2010 to remove my mower I noticed glass all over the place on the floor. The top to my table had shattered. I only heard complaints about this on a local radio station earlier this week. I thought I'd googled it. I had no idea so many people are having this trouble with these tables. Is something going to be done? The problem is I have no idea if I still have my receipt for this table & chairs. It was definitely purchased from my local KMart. Both of my sisters have the same identical set.

Patio set that I purchased in June of 2006 spontaneously exploded into thousands of pieces in October of 2007. I spent $600 on the set! Had no choice but to replace it as KMart wouldn't do anything about it. I just recently heard that this has been happening all over the place to hundreds of people! I am STILL fuming mad about it!

In cleaning up I cut myself more with the smallest almost invisible pieces.

I bought a Martha Stewart glass table that exploded when I touched it. I called kmart and they said to call Macy's for Martha Stewarts phone number.

i have an outdoor glass bar patio set, i purchased it in July 2009, in may of 2011, one of the glass panels just exploded. fortunately, no one was sitting at the bar when it happened. that is very dangerous. It was purchased at K Mart, Martha Stewart outdoor living patio set.

We had a Martha Stewart patio set that shattered as my friend and her child were sitting at the table. We contacted Kmart and wound up speaking with the manufacturer who told us that is was our fault that it happened because the umbrella probably bumped it. I understand that there is now a class action suit and we were never contacted about it.

After returning home after a week's vacation found table shattered.

My patio table shattered about two weeks ago. Was a Martha Stewart from Kmart. It was about 5 or 6 years old so I didn't think much about it but it did literally shatter without provocation.

August of 2010 My 3 Grandchildren were sitting on the patio table ages ranging from three to 10 years old when the table suddenly shattered infront of my eyes. The table glass made small cuts in the 10 year old leg - the glass landed on the ground. I went back to KMart but because there is no warranty on the glass they were not helpful. I kept the metal table but have not replaced the glass. I am making this complaint not because I heard on the radio that this is a common problem. K-Mart never mentioned this problem when I complained. They made it seem like it was my fault. This Table w/chairs was purchased this in 2004.

I purchased a Martha Stewart patio table with 6 chairs. The Melrose collection The table exploded into many many pieces. I have heard that many other people have had the same experience with this table set.

Martha Stewart Victoria glass top table disintegrated into tiny pieces. I bought set at Kmart and spent about $400 for set. Cushions also deteriorated very fast. Deserve a better product than this.

My Martha Stewart glass table exploded one night when it was out on the patio, for no reason, leaving shattered glass everywhere.

I purchased a glass top table at Kmart back in 2006. The glass top exploded in 2007 (fortunately, no one was outside when this happened). I have called Kmart recently because I viewed a news story about this happening to another family just north of where I live. The story suggested that consumers call Kmart. I called Kmart, and was told since they no longer sell the table, there was nothing they could do.

I purchased a Martha Stewart patio set in 2007 and 2 months ago, the tempered glass suddenly shattered into a million pieces. I ended up getting sliced across one finger and punctured in 2 others.

I bought the Martha Stewart Victorian Rose patio set with the tampered glass top on the table which also had a lazy susan tampered glass top attached. This morning I hear a thunderous noise which I thought was on the TV and then I looked on the deck and the lazy susan had shattered into a million pieces. After reading all the complaints, I am destroying and throwing the entire table away....it's like a bomb which might go off any minute. Mary from South Carolina

I bought a 7-piece outdoor set, spent about $600.00 for the outfit, and the glass top shattered all over my patio. Kmart offered no warranty and didn't care. I have a dog that had a piece stuck in his paw that caused a minor cut, but he was in pain.

I purchased a Martha Stewart Cascade set from Home Depot. The table exploded with glass all over the deck. It is one week old and Home Depot refuses to do anything about it.

We purchased a Martha Stewart 7-piece Cascade patio dining set (table with six chairs) from Home Depot last week for our deck. We were shocked to find the glass tabletop completely shattered in pieces on the deck floor this morning. Given the huge number of similar complaints on this website, we're even more shocked that Home Depot and Martha Stewart continues to sell this product.

We will be seeking a full refund and urge all potential buyers not to purchase this product.

I had a Martha Stewart glass patio table from Kmart store. Today I got home from work and it had exploded all over the patio. It was only about 80 degrees out and nothing had hit it. The glass was everywhere and of course there is no way to replace a tabletop so I have to throw it away. It's a shame that an entire patio set becomes useless because they sell it with inferior glass that was so dangerous to clean up.

On June 1, our Martha Stewart lazy susan table--exactly like the last one in the photo--shattered. Glass is everywhere on our deck; some pieces with sharp edges. I called Kmart, where we bought the furniture, and they said they wouldn't do anything since they no longer sell the furniture. We will now need to spend several hundred dollars on new patio furniture. Also, we have glass all over our deck, and we will have to be very careful cleaning it up.

We also own a Martha Stewart self-lit Christmas tree which was also purchased at Kmart. Does this mean I should throw that out too before it causes my house to burn down? I'm not confident in the safety of her products at this point.

I bought through Home depot online a Martha Stuart living patio set, which was purchased on April 24, 2010. Color expresso. Well, last week I was setting my patio set to get everything ready for the holiday May 31, 2011 (Memorial Day) and I saw my patio set all fade from the table to the chairs. It's supposed to be an outdoor set but it faded. All winter long it was covered. The table, chair and the cushionI put them away inside. I'm so sad. I pay like $600 and it's supposed to be a good brand. Please someone get back to me. I could send pictures so you could see. The economic consequence that affected me is that I spent for a good quality brand like Martha Stuart.

The Martha Stewart umbrella glass table exploded. I tried to find a new top and then found that the Martha Stewart glass table tops have been exploding.

We purchased a Martha Stewart patio dining set (called Grand Bay 5-piece) from Home Depot. We put it together and by that evening, the glass top spontaneously shattered all over the patio, with shards covering our guest's legs.

I purchased a Martha Stewart Patio Table in 2005. The table had tempered glass on both the table and the lazy susan. The glass on the table shattered into pieces.

I purchased Martha Stewart glass patio table with five chairs, three cushion couches, and coffee table at KMart. These have been on an enclosed screened in porch. Last year, I came home from work to find the lazy Susan portion of the tabletop shattered to pieces. Last week, May 27, 2011, I came home to find the entire tabletop shattered. I just entertained 30 people days before on the screened in porch. I am shocked upon reading all of the complaints that no one has been held accountable. The coffee table is going to the dump, where all of Martha Stewart's products belong, before one of my guests or grandchildren get hurt.

I purchased the Martha Stewart Victorian patio set. The furniture was rusted and looks terrible; $600.00 was wasted.

I purchased the Martha Stewart Victoria patio set, umbrella, coffee table, love seat and Gazebo from Kmart in July 2007. The lazy susan on the glass table shattered into a million pieces, it seemed in August 2010. It took me forever to put together, but it looked beautiful. However, I came to learn that beauty was only temporary and that the ugliness was waiting to show itself. The gazebo had began to rust, crack and the paint is peeling off in several places the first year. The seat cushions ripped and tore in several areas by the end of 2008.

Approximately 5 years ago, I purchased a Martha Stewart table and chairs from KMart. It was used on our deck in the summer and stored in our basement during the winter. Sunday morning of May 15, 2011, the glass shattered into a million pieces in the basement. I was not injured but now I have no table and left with a terrible mess to clean up. I read online that this happened to many others and decided to respond.

August of 2010, I was preparing to set our Martha Stewart glass patio table. As I was leaving the kitchen to carry dishes out, I heard a loud crash. It was so loud that my husband and little granddaughters heard it from the other side of our large yard. Thank the dear Lord, no one had set down yet, as it exploded little shards of glass right where we all would have been setting. Does someone have to be severely injured before something is done about these table tops? Our table was purchased approximately five years before at K-mart. It was covered every winter with a tarp and was in a shady area on the deck most of the time.

I purchased the Martha Stewart Welland collection 5-piece glass patio furniture last week. And i woke up to a deck filled with broken glass. The glass table top shattered.

I have a Martha Stewart Patio Table with Lazy Susan in my sunroom for the past 6-7 years and last week it exploded. And I find out on the web these have been exploding since 2000 and there is no recall! What the heck! I have the coffee table and bar set also. I don't want it now with that glass in it. My grandkids play in the sunroom. Thank goodness they were not out there when it happened. Then I went on line to find out there is no replacement or no recall. I am just tough out of luck. Why wasn't this recalled and why wasn't there any warning? This is ***! Excuse my language. So what will I do with the coffee table and bar set? I want my money back somehow. They can have the furniture.

I purchased a Martha Stewart glass top Patio Dining set in 2003. Last weekend, May 1, the glass top tempered glass shattered. No one was around and nothing caused this to shatter. It was the leaf patterned glass with a Lazy Susan. The Lazy Susan did not shatter. I am now looking for a tabletop replacement if anyone knows where to purchase it.

We purchased the Martha Stewart Patio glass table from Kmart. The table shattered into small pieces, leaving the lazy Suzie intact. We were inside our home when this happened. Because of this, we now have to replace this table at a cost of $500.00. We had to discontinue use of our deck because the pieces of glass were small and challenging to remove.

I bought a Martha Stewart 7-piece patio set in 2003. We have enjoyed many barbecues using this set. This patio set has actually seen my grandchildren grow up. Today, I was relaxing on my deck, sitting at the patio set when it exploded into thousands of pieces. I was quite taken by surprise! My feet were covered with glass. It was popping and crackling and after twenty minutes, it's still popping. There was pieces of glass stuck between the deck boards and I don't think that I will be able to remove all of it.

I am very concerned about these glass table tops from Martha Stewart. If my grandchildren were around the table, I would be doing more than writing this complaint. Please, for your children and grandchildren's safety, do not buy glass table tops made for Martha Stewart. Pieces of glass stuck between the deck boards. I don't think I will be able to remove all of it.

I purchased a Martha Stewart outdoor dining set on 7/21/07. It is the Arcadia Collection glass top table and 6 chairs. I was in my garage on 4/23/11 and heard something explode. The table top was glass and simply exploded into tiny shards. I had just walked away from the table into the garage when it exploded. There were so many pieces of glass. It took about an hour to clean up the mess.

On March 2, 2011, I ordered from Home Depot online the Cascade Valley Dining Set of seven pieces priced at $499.00. My order confirmation # was **. The table top broke on March 24, 2011. I was sitting at my computer when I heard the crash. I looked out at millions of pieces of glass. I was disgusted to read that the table top had no warranty. I could not buy a replacement top from Home Depot. I was incensed when I discovered that Martha Stewart Patio table tops has 266 complaints listed on Consumer Affairs. It will cost me approximately $300 to have a new table top made. That amount plus the cost of having to transport the frame to and from the store that fixes it. I can't fit it in my car and scratched my room tying the frame to the top of the car.

I purchased the Martha Stewart Palisades patio furniture set from Kmart in the spring of 2009 and before the end of the summer of 2009 the table shattered. I was laying across my bed and heard a loud noise and went to my patio door and my table was in a million small pieces, I still have the lazy suzy and chairs, but no table. This was my first set and I am really disappointed. After reading all of the complaints about the table, Martha Stewart should step up to the plate and either replace the table or refund the money. I will never purchase anything with Martha Stewart's name on it again.

After only 3 months of use, the table top of our Martha Stewart patio set purchased at Home Depot shattered. Home Depot would take no responsibility and neither would Martha Stewart Living cover the shattered table top even after the many many other similar complaints that have been reported. Millions of pieces of glass are all over our deck, luckily no one was injured. Now, I have to purchase another table top at a value of $ 100.00.

Our Martha Stewart patio glass-topped table spontaneously shattered the evening of March 6th, 2011. We were sitting a few feet away inside the house when we heard the explosion. The shards of glass (thousands of them) were flung far and wide over our backyard.

We have lost the use of our outdoor table, 5 chairs and umbrella. At current prices we will have to spend around $1000 to replace it all. We had to shop vac the backyard and dispose of lots of glass. We purchased our patio set in 2000. The KMart we bought it from is no longer in business.

I purchased a Martha Stewart patio table with 4 chairs and umbrella, approximately 6 years ago. I stored it in the garage in winter months. I pulled it out the other day when the weather was 70 degrees and before I could even wipe it down, the glass for no apparent reason just exploded. I called Kmart and asked about it. They said they never had any complaints about this. Now, I am hearing many complaints. I did think this set was guaranteed for longer than this, but it was never abused and I kept it very well. I do not know if you could help me or not, I thought I would try. Thank you.

On 12/1/10, I purchased a Martha Stewart 5 pc. patio set at Kmart about 5 years ago. I loved it. I have stored it in heated basement over winters. Today, my son heard a loud crash and went downstairs to find the glass tabletop completely shattered. You can imagine all the nooks and crannies in a basement that the glass spread to. I'm worried about not finding it all and my cat getting cuts in her paws. Now, how do I replace the top with a safe one. I haven't found just a table to match the chairs. The glass suppliers are very expensive and the 53" is even too large to replace with plywood which is typically 48" wide.

I had cuts down my leg, glass in my foot and then in my arms/hands from the clean up effort. Since it was new, Kmart replaced the table with a new one. We stored it inside during the winter months, and brought it out beginning of our spring.

We had our windows open one afternoon and heard a loud crash. I looked outside and the table had shattered again, not a sole was around. Kmart nor the manufacturer will replace it as the top is not covered under the warranty. A new piece of glass is very expensive. Plexiglas is very expensive and not a good option due to yellowing and scratches. So I am now stuck with this table, chairs and umbrella and can't even sell it! No one wants a broken table. I have cuts, scratches, and imbedded glass in foot and hands. Unable to sell as used. Basically a $650 loss.

The glass top of my coffee table exploded. I came home from work to find my deck covered with what looked like piles of rock salt, but it was the glass from the coffee table. The table is no longer usable, and table top will be expensive and/or difficult to replace. I'm afraid another top from the same manufacturer will explode also.

I purchased a glass top Martha Stewart 6-piece bar set, which I love. It matches the patio set I had also purchased. One afternoon, the glass on the bar just shattered! Luckily, no one was using it at that time, but it just crumbled into a million pieces. The bar was less than a year old and I don't think it is right to have to replace it. I wasn't even using it! This seems to be a recurring thing with this furniture.

This appears to be a systematic problem with this item. The coincidence is too great. The entire glass top just turned into glass nuggets, just like automobile windshields do when they shatter. We found the glass in a mound below the table frame. There was no sign of any object, and the temperature had been moderate. The set was about 5-6 years old.

On September 10, 2010, the glass table top on my Martha Stewart Patio furniture set completely shattered into a million pieces. Glass was everywhere. Thankfully no one was hurt. I have owned the set for over 5 years and purchased it from KMART. The whole event is inexplicable! I live in Los Angeles, in a mild climate. Nothing heated was setting on top of the table at all. The rest of the set has held up well. I typically keep the set covered with a patio furniture cover. I am seeking help with this issue please!

Eight or nine years ago, We purchased a Martha Stewart 7-piece glass top table and 6 chairs. The chairs did not last more than a season. But we loved the table and we bought big luxury chairs and new cushions to use with the table.

Yesterday, September 14, 2010, the glass top just shattered into a million pieces. Tonight, I was actually looking for a replacement table online when I ran across these other accounts of tables shattering and our experience was just like that. One evening we are sitting on the patio enjoying a cooler evening and the next day, our long used table explodes! We weren't home, but that is what it looks like it did. Ironically, the glass Lazy Susan must have ridden the tempered glass pieces down to the patio, because it is not damaged!

My question is why, after 8 or 9 years of use - sitting out during the winters in Texas - did it shatter now? Is there some atmospheric condition making them shatter now? I see complaints over a four year period on this site, but we have had our table twice that long, and other complaints indicated they bought their table as early as 2000, and it just shattered this year. That's really freaky. Now I still have to find a replacement table or go order a replacement glass. This table had the little leaf pattern in the glass and was a wonderfully strong table. All five of our grandsons have sat at that table since they were babies.

We have to get a replacement, but I do not even know where to start. I would love to know the reason for the glass to shatter now, after all those years of use that we and a few others enjoyed. If anyone finds out, please post it!

We bought a Martha Stewart patio set in May 2008. Two weeks ago during a storm, the glass table top disintegrated into small pieces all over the patio. We paid $437.99 for the set. Now we have to find a replacement table top.

4 or 5 years ago, we bought Martha Stewart Amelia Island patio furniture from Kmart. We purchased glass table, 5 chairs, 2 rocking chairs, umbrella, 2 lounge chairs, a baker's rack, love seat, coffee table, and gazebo. We store everything in the basement during the winter. We use it from late spring to early fall. The metal on all the pieces is bubbling and paint is falling off. We are on the second canopy top for the gazebo. Upon looking at the top today, we are going to need a new one again. This one is only 4 or 5 months old.

Our furniture is covered all the time, but the fabric is wearing. For what we paid for this furniture and how we care for it, you would think it would last longer. I don't want to buy another top for this gazebo. At $149.00 each top, I could build one out of wood. This set is made very cheap. The canopy and set covers are very thin material. The paint job and metal are cheap. Maybe Martha should do jail time again. We did contact out Kmart store. They told us Martha went out of business. So, we were out of luck as to replacement.

We purchased the Martha Stewart Victoria outdoor patio set in 2003. Today the coffee table shattered on our covered back deck without any warning. Thousands of pieces hit the floor and continued to pop & crackle. Kmart no longer carries this set but it has been a known problem from the first year they sold this set. I also have the dining table with the lazy susan and I am concerned this table could shatter without warning. The coffee table literally exploded!

Martha Stewart table top shattered for no reason, table was in a screen house away from the sun and nothing on top of it. It broke in a million pieces, glass still stuck in between bricks. Will not use glass for my tables any more thank god we were outside of the screen house at the time and were shocked to hear the glass explode just feet away from us. I feel that we shall be compensated, we had to buy a whole new set. Had to buy a metal top table, can't have a meal and worry about the glass breaking.

In April of 2005, I bought a Martha Stewart Patio set with 5 chairs and glass round table with Lazy Susan. Today on September 4, the table exploded with no reason. We just had a new paver patio put in and the table had been stored safely in our basement. Thank goodness no one was at the table, and my husband and father-in-law had to clean up the mess. There are still glass pieces in the cracks of the pavers on the patio. I would like to know what is being done about this. This has been happening to a lot of others I have read on the Internet.

We purchased a Martha Stuart Patio table from a Kmart Store on Oahu in 2002 or early 2003. This morning, the glass table top spontaneously exploded. Fortunately, no one was injured. I am filing this through your site to support any action that you are taking against Kmart for this problem (I linked to this page from an article.

I purchased a Martha Stewart patio set several years ago and today Sept 2, 2010, for no apparent reason the glass top shattered into a million pieces. If my child had of been at this table, she could have been hurt.

We purchased the six piece Victorian collection by Martha Stewart patio dining set (included five chairs and a round, glass top table with lazy Susan) in 2000. Within months, the table and chairs had bubbles in the powder coating and were peeling. After several months, KMart finally agreed to replace the entire set. After almost a year, we received the new set. It has not worn well at all and I have had to replace the cushions as they tore easily and faded quickly. Today, I looked out the window to discover the entire table top shattered into thousands of little pieces of broken glass. There is no visible sign of anything striking the table causing it to break. The weather here today is moderate (80 degrees, no wind), so I am at a loss as to what happened.

My patio table spontaneously exploded this week. Fortunately, no one was using it at the time, but those millions of pieces are hard to get up. After reading about the fiasco on-line, we are not wasting time trying to get a replacement or refund, but we will certainly not buy such a table again. But right now we cannot replace it at all because we don't have a spare $500 to buy patio furniture on a regular basis. Even after a third vacuuming, there was one piece that ended up in my son's foot.

I purchased a Martha Stewart Victorian Patio set three years ago. I came home last Friday evening (Aug,27,2010) to find the glass completely shattered, and the turn table not broken at all. What an absolute mess to clean up! So what do you have to say for yourself Martha? The set as is totally unusable. What recourse do I have? The set was bought in better financial times and I can't replace it with anything right now.

I also owned the Martha Stewart everyday Victoria collection from Sears and experienced broken glass when returning home within two months of owning the set. I would like to share that marthastewartreplacementcushions.com is the only place I have found that carries the replacement glass (aftermarket, but who wants the original at this point) online as of Aug. 30, 2010. Hope this helps. Martha Stewart and Sears were no help whatsoever and I will never buy from them again.

When I returned from vacation on August 22, 2010, I went out on my deck to find that my Martha Stewart patio table was shattered into a million pieces. I looked all around to see if something could have caused the table to shatter in that many pieces; however, I did not find anything. The interesting thing is that the lazy susan did not shatter with the rest of the table.It took my husband and myself some time to clean it up especially since so many of the pieces were stuck between the deck boards. I am thankful that no one was home to be harmed by the glass.

I purchased a Martha Stewart Glass picnic table. Came home from work to find it shattered into a million pieces. My neighbor had the same table to find hers shattered a week later. There is obviously something wrong with these tables since there are a lot of complaints about the same thing happening on the internet. I am just thankful it did not happen when I was sitting at it two days earlier or when my son or dog was on the deck. I feel that there should be some restitution for this. This furniture is not cheap and we should not be out the money we spent on it.

On August 26, 2010, I looked out my dining room window at my deck and saw a mound of shiny material, not knowing what is was, I went out and the glass table top had shattered for no reason. There was no one out there and nothing had fallen on it, it just exploded. I am still trying to get all the glass up as it has fallen between the boards on the deck. I am just glad none of my grandchildren were here.

I now have a table with no top, 2 swivel chairs and 4 regular chairs and a matching umbrella. At this time right now, I cannot afford a new set.

I went to work in the morning and came home to find the glass table top of my Martha Stewart patio set shattered and the umbrella laying on the ground. We have not even had the set for 1 month. I've sat at it three times. When trying to replace the table top from Home Depot, I was told that they could not do it that I would have to purchase a whole new patio set. Why would I want to do that? I have the table frame, 4 swivel chairs and the umbrella that goes with the set but purchased separately.

You have got to be kidding me! That is what I said to the people at Home Depot also. What do you do except complain to consumer protection? No personal damage was done except I'm out the ability to even use the set at this point. Thank God no one was home but my cat very well could have cut his paws from walking on the shattered glass. I am forced now to buy another piece of glass from another source seeing "parts" are not available. It is ridiculous!

I purchased a Martha Stewart Victoria glass top patio set a few years ago from Kmart in Boston. Last Saturday August 14,2010 the table top shattered with out warning. Nobody was near the table, we heard a loud bang and saw the glass just break into pieces and fall through the middle. The Lazy Susan did not shatter. I am very disappointed as the glass is very expensive and I can not pay for a replacement at this time. I feel that there should be some sort of restitution for this as these sets were very expensive. Thank God nobody was hurt. I have pictures of the table but that is all I have besides a shell of a metal circle. Please advise if there may be any recourse that I can look into.Thank you.

My parents purchased a Martha Stewart metal or glass patio table and chairs approximately two years ago. The glass top seems to have spontaneously shattered into a million small pieces on a hot summer day. (I have photos). I just learned that Kmart has known about the danger of these tables for years, but continued to sell them. Luckily, no one was next to the table when it shattered, leaving a pile of glass on my deck. I suffered minor cuts in my hands while trying to clean the mess up. A safe plexiglass replacement top will cost me over $250.

Spontaneous explosion of product (54 inch diameter tempered glass top table) sold at K-Mart sponsored by Marth Stewart (Victorian collection) Manufactured by JRA manufacturing. Glass, glass,glass everywhere. Vacuuming 4 days now and still cannot get it all up from deck floor.

Fortunately, no one injured but could easily have been. Need to replace table or table top with non-glass product.

Like everyone else, our Martha Stewart rectangular glass top patio dining table spontaneously shattered with no explanation. I called several glass shops to learn that the new glass would be over $400. I am now faced with the prospect of paying this or having to buy an entirely new dining set.

The patio table top shattered on the patio deck for no apparent reason. It is a JR table top manufactured by the Martha Stewart line. Sears will not do anything to replace and states they didn't sell the line. I have the receipt. Glass top shattered and many pieces of glass within crevice of patio deck.

My Martha Stewart patio table glass shattered spontaneously. The table has always been on a covered porch. The K Mart we bought this from is no longer in business.

The glass table top shattered without explanation. Lucky no one was injured. Didn't think glass patio tables were suppose to spontaneously shatter!

I purchased many pieces of the Martha Stewart Amelia Island Patio furniture including the glass topped dining table. Recently, the glass top shattered without explanation. Now I have chairs, recliners and chaise loungers, but no table.

Unfortunately, the patio table was about 5 feet from our pool. Glass went everywhere when the tabletop shattered, including in the pool. We did our best to clean up all the pieces, but my son found more glass in the pool today, many days after the accident. I am upset, also, that I have all these matching pieces and no table. I have tried to find another table, but they no longer make this set.

I purchased a Martha Stewart living patio set, 802100P H series 100,000 BTU/HI001DPI ordered from Home depot online site, ***. I paid $755.99 for it. The chairs are dangerous. They have sharp plastic on the back of the chairs and if you just brush by them, they will cut or even leave a deep scratch. I have now a scar on my forearm and my father-in-law who is on Cuminton, brush by one of the chairs and the plastic cut his skin which bled for some time. Who designed these?

We purchased a Martha Stewart, Melrose collection 6 sided table and chairs about 2 years ago. Aug 11, 2010 found the glass table top completely shattered.

Yesterday, I came home to find that my glass top patio table from the Martha Stewart line, previously sold at Kmart, had shattered for no apparent reason. The glass was in a million pieces and took forever to clean up. I no longer have a patio table and my house is for sale. I have a big deck with nothing on it now. I don't want to buy furniture for a house I am hoping to sell.

A patio set I bought from Kmart's exploded for no apparent reason, the glass in the table exploded in millions of tiny pieces! Looked on the internet and was surprised to find that there was a lot of complaints about the same thing happening!

I have no glass for my table not able to replace it!

I purchased a Martha Stewart outdoor table with 6 chairs from Kmart about 6 years ago. I went outside yesterday and the top had shattered into a million pieces. This table was put in the shed every winter and taken out every spring. I'm very disappointed that "Martha" has not answered any of these complaints.

We purchased a 9-piece Martha Stewart patio set called the Melrose. Three of the aluminum rust proof chairs rusted and cracked. The glass top shattered and broke into a million pieces for no reason. We contacted the company and they sent us three frames for chairs with no seats. It does us no good, because we threw out the chairs because they were in pitiful shape. We have to purchase a whole new patio set to replace this garbage!

I was in my basement and I heard a loud bang sound. Unknown what it was and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. My 10-year old daughter took our puppy outside under our deck and there was glass all over in rocks. I went up onto our 2nd level deck and the glass from the table shattered all over the place for no reason. I'm glad no one was sitting there when this happened. After I told a couple of people about this, I learned that this is something that happens with her line of outdoor furniture. After some investigation online, I decided to write something about it. I took pictures.

We recently redid our outdoor patio area and put out our Martha Stewart Santa Barbara collection 7 pc. table and chairs that we purchased from K mart in 2003. I looked out the upstairs window overlooking the patio and noticed what looked like ice all over my patio and furniture. Upon further inspection I noticed it was the glass from the tabletop that had shattered into a million pieces. I thought this was a freak occurrence until I stumbled upon the consumer affairs website and quickly realized I am not alone. After spending a considerable amount of money on my patio I now have to purchase a whole new patio set or go on a hunt to replace the glass. I still have to check for glass every time my kids (6 & 3) go out to play.

I purchased Martha Stewart glass table top bar style patio set from Kmart. Have had it for about 3 years, was in my house and heard a crash. No one was near or around table, the glass shattered everywhere for no reason. The problem is it has 4 odd shaped glass sections that have a leaf design which I cannot find replacement parts for, and Kmart no longer sells this model. I cannot find a replacement part. I have spent hours trying to find solution. I will end up purchasing new for another $500. This is unbelievable.

Brand new Martha Steward 7-piece patio set glass table top shattered into a million pieces everywhere. I have another glass table, different brand, and no problems ever. This was a cheaply made product, and it is dangerous, specially when the glass gets shattered. I can find glass everywhere, and got cut when cleaning it up. Glass went into grass, and we have dogs.

Glass top table shattered onto deck for no known reason. Glass was everywhere.

Sitting inside my house eating supper when we heard a noise outside. We looked and found our Martha Stewart table was shattered and laid on the floor. My wife got glass in hand and my granddaughter got glass in her foot. 10 minutes before that my grand kids would have been right next to it. They are 18 months, 3 and 5 years old.

We received a patio set made by Martha Stewart as a gift about nine years ago. It was purchased at a Kmart that is no longer in business. Last Thursday, the glass in the table shattered. There was glass all over the place. Obviously from what I have been reading we are not alone.

Yesterday I heard a loud noise and found the patio table glass shattered all over the deck. The Lazy Susan portion of the glass is still intact (did not break).

Lazy Susan exploded in millions of pieces. It was a mild day in Spring, no bad weather or excessive heat. I came home and found the glass everywhere. I didn't realize this has happened to so many others! I would like a replacement for the Lazy Susan, who should I contact about a replacement? I contacted K-mart where I purchased the set but was told the store can't help me. The table is okay for now.

We purchased a Martha Stewart six piece patio set from Home Depot online. It was out on the deck. There was a slight breeze and all of a sudden, the glass table top shattered. This is crazy. They should make a recall of this glass. I called Home Depot and they do not even sell replacement glass. Had anyone been sitting at the table or it was full of dishes, someone could have been injured. We have only had this set up for two weeks!

It was 11am in the morning of July 30, 2010 when I was in the house and heard a rumble. I looked out on the deck to find glass top in thousands of pieces. Luckily nobody was outside at the time, but I am out a patio set that was not cheap.

Yesterday, the glass table top suddenly exploded into a million pieces. The table was on a covered screen porch, nothing had fallen on it. It just suddenly exploded covering the porch with glass shards. I no longer have a table. I was very lucky that I was not sitting at the table at that time. I had just left the table about 10 minutes prior to it exploding.

I bought the 5pc Martha Stewart patio set with tempered glass table and swivel rocker chairs in April of this year. Yesterday, I went outside to sit at the table and it just exploded. The glass crumbled and glass was everywhere. Had I not run from it, I would have had glass in my face. Had I known this glass would explode, I would have purchased something different. The warranty on this set does not include the glass. This is awful. Now we need a table because the warranty does not cover it. Martha Stewart living should cover these consumers with the exploding glass tables.

I purchased a patio set, to include a round glass top table with built-in glass Lazy Suzan, along with 5 chairs and an umbrella. The Lazy Susan decided to explode and sent glass fragments all over my deck. Is the actual table glass itself ready to explode also? Luckily, I was the only one by the table when it happened. It scared the ** me when it happened. I was only about eight feet away from it when it blew. Should I have been 6 inches closer, I would have been hit by the flying glass.

I would like to add my name to the other people who complained. I purchased a 5-piece Wellington patio set model # DYWLG5PC less than 1 year ago. I came home following rain shower to find my table shattered in a million pieces. It's unbelievable and an overwhelming mess to clean up. Glass is not covered. I wouldn't want this to happen to anyone else.

I bought a Martha Stewart Living patio set at Home Depot three weeks ago. The set included a 42x42" glass topped umbrella table. Last week, the glass shattered into thousands of pieces. I called Home Depot and the company and they said glass in not covered under Warranty. There should be some safety standards in place.

Our glass table top just exploded on our patio set, I got online to contact the company and came across this website. I cannot believe the number of complaints. The explosion broke our umbrella in two. And the glass was everywhere, this is nuts.

In May I bought a Martha Stewart Living patio set at Home Depot. The set included a 42x42" glass topped umbrella table. The glass was inset in the table. Last week the wind shook the umbrella, causing it to bump the umbrella cutout. The glass shattered into thousands of pieces. I would never have bought this particular set if I had realized how fragile that glass top was. There should be some safety standards in place since the table was sold with the purpose of using an umbrella with it.

The K-Mart we purchased the table from is no longer in business in Destin. Our Martha Stewart patio set glass table just exploded. No one was hurt, but we are without a table and we had quite a mess to clean up.

We were going to have some heavy winds, so my husband decided to take the umbrella out of our Martha Stewart Octagon table. Lo and behold, the glass shattered into a million pieces! How safe is that! I think there should be a recall, especially after reading of the many similar complaints.

We bought a Martha Stewart patio set with a tempered glass table top 2 years ago at the Kmart. On July 19, 2010, I was sitting in a chair around the table, not touching it, and it exploded into a thousand tiny pieces, some of them embedded in my body. We called Kmart and got no satisfaction. We feel they should replace the table or at least acknowledge that this has happened before as we have found out on the internet since this happened. Our dog usually lies on the table under the umbrella when I'm out there and it could have happened when she was on it or the grandkids were sitting around it. I was lucky and was able to remove all the little pieces that hit me.

We purchased a 6-piece patio set for our deck. It was a Martha Stewart round table with Lazy Susan. The top of the table just shattered last night, no one was around it.

We have a Martha Stewart outdoor glass topped table with a built on Lazy Susan. Today, the Lazy Susan glass spontaneously shattered, sending glass pieces all over our deck. We are wondering if the glass table itself is a time bomb. The range of the glass explosion was worrisome. We are glad that we were not near the explosion, which sent pieces of glass like shrapnel, within a five-foot range of the table.

I bought my patio furniture from our local Kmart store here in Austin, MN, which has just recently closed. I am guessing that I have had it for approximately 5 years. It is put in a shed in the winter, and brought out to sit under our canopy on our front deck in the summer.

Last evening, as I was sitting inside my house, I heard a strange cracking noise, and looked outside just in time to see the glass top of my patio table explode. I almost couldn't believe my own eyes. My son and I went out to clean up the glass within 1/2 hour after the explosion, and the small glass pieces were still making cracking noises, and popping, similar to popcorn.

I am very concerned about someone getting seriously injured from this kind of thing happening. My grandchildren had just been at our house this past weekend, and I am so grateful that this defective table didn't explode in my 2-year-old granddaughter's face! Please let me know that you are going to do something about this before someone is injured! The damage is described above. My table is ruined. But thank God, nobody was injured! I certainly hope that this matter is handled before injuries occur.

On July 10, 2010, I see I'm not the only one with this problem. My tabletop broke in thousand pieces. We are lucky also by having it for four years. I'm glad no one was outside sitting by it when it broke. I was home, heard a shattering noise and looked outside and saw the tabletop in tiny pieces. It's a shame. We liked that table.

I have had the same tabletop for 6 years. Mine shattered also. I am wondering if it was from the heat. I also want you to know I will contact a rep from Martha Stewart products. In the past, she has warrantied at no cost to me (free next day delivery) a tabletop from a bar I have outside. The bar blew over in the wind and she asked no questions and just shipped me a new top!

Like so many others, my glass insert on my patio set exploded for no apparent reason. No one was hurt but cleaning up all those tiny glass pieces was difficult. The set was the Martha Stewart Mallorca purchased online at Home Depot. The force of the explosion was so great that it blew the umbrella off the deck and into the yard. If someone had been sitting close to it, they would have sustained severe injuries.

I received my Martha Stewart glass-top table set from my kids for Mother's Day approx. six (6) years ago. I came home from work last week, and the entire top had shattered all over my deck. I have a lattice-covered deck, and there was nothing else around to damage it. The weather was perfect. I am quite disgusted with the mess that had to be cleaned up--little tiny pieces of shattered glass everywhere and the loss of such an expensive set of furniture.

Our Martha Steward outdoor patio table glass shattered in a million pieces for no apparent reason. We now must replace a glass table top and will not order from K-Mart or Martha Steward collection for fear of the same defect. Thankfully no one was injured.

I purchased a Martha Stewart glass top table around 5 years ago from KMart. It has been used on our covered deck, but is put in the basement in the fall. On July 9, 2010, I was at my computer (2nd floor) and heard a loud crash sound. I went downstairs and looked out onto the porch and saw shattered glass under and around the table. It had shattered spontaneously. The weather was perfect outside and no one was around it. I can't believe this has happened to so many other customers.

Apparently we were lucky to get 5 years use out of it as I have seen other people only had theirs for 1 month when it shattered. I can't believe that nothing is being done about this by either KMart or Sears. I notice they have another set which looks like the Victorian Set for sale but they have put Jacqueline Smith's name on it. Hope that glass is not made in China. We also have the matching couch and chair, with cocktail table out on the deck, so I am just waiting to see when that glass will break.

My Martha Stewart table spontaneously exploded overnight. No one was around. There were only a bowl and coasters sitting on top. It was under a protective canopy. I could not find any reason for the breakage.

Today my family came home only to find that the glass table to our Martha Stewart patio furniture had shattered into thousands of 1/4 inch square pieces. I was shocked. I am blown away to see that I am not the only one this has happened to.

Our glass top insert shattered on our Martha Stewart outdoor table. After emails and calls to Martha Stewart customer service, our local Home Depot, and the home office of Home Depot, the local store manager called us this morning, July 11, 2010.

We returned the defective table set and umbrella and received a full refund. We had been told repeatedly the glass was not covered by warranty, so it was the fact that we didn't give up that helped us get the refund. We will never buy another Martha Stewart piece of furniture or anything like it with a glass insert. It can be very dangerous.

Glass top patio table imploded on Sunday July 5, 2010 while no one was around it. It seems I have read a lot of people complaining about KMart and Martha Stewart. Mine was not purchased at KMart nor was it a Martha Stewart product. What we all have in common are glass tops made in China instead of the good old USA.

We bought the Martha Stewart Mallorca 7 piece dining set and the Marrorca rectangular umbrella at our local Home Depot on May 6, 2010. We paid $728.69. On Saturday, July 3, we heard a loud crash and realized that the umbrella shattered the glass top, leaving glass pieces all over our 2nd story deck and under the deck. The weather was not threatening. I feel that the table with the glass top is defective and/or the umbrella should not be matched with that table.

The customer service person (I got the number from the Home Depot) basically refused to offer any help and acted like they have no responsibility regarding this problem. She snickered at me when I asked if there was a glass substitute (maybe plastic) insert that I could get. She told me to go to a local glass supplier because it would take 6 to 8 weeks to get the glass from them and they are way more expensive.

I purchased Martha Stewart Outdoor bar and stool set in 2006. I just walked outside this morning, July 9, 2010, the right side panel glass top has shattered. Glass is everywhere. There is no sign of anything hitting the glass. I have taken several photos of the shattered glass and area around the bar. Someone needs to do something about faulty material being used. Glass everywhere. My dog has been walking in the glass and the swimming pool will need to be checked for glass also.

Last night, while sitting out on our deck enjoying dinner, our octagon glass table top literally fell/exploded from under our arms and into our laps. There was glass all over and I was bleeding from several spots on my legs and feet. The dishes broke and we had a very big mess. We purchased this set in 2004 and it is inside during the winter months. Wow, I am still in shock, especially because we both loved this table. What shall we do now? I was shocked to read complaints of other people with the same problem. We took photos of our disaster!

I purchased a Martha Stewart Patio Set exactly one month and five days ago. Today the glass table top shattered into a million pieces. I never got to even use the patio set once. I never placed a single item on the table. Now I am out a patio set and it cost me $650. Someone should slap a lawsuit on the Martha Stewart company and these products should be recalled because it is only luck that no one has gotten seriously hurt yet. This is $650 down the drain. I want my money back. Now I have no patio set. I had two pieces of glass in my feet due to the fact that when the glass shattered there were pieces across the yard, so before I knew what happened I was walking barefoot into the yard and got glass in my foot.

Today, my Martha Stewart Patio Table Glass exploded on my deck. I currently have shards of glass everywhere. Luckily, neither my daughter or my small dog was on deck, which is their typical spot during the day. As a fan of Martha's show and a purchaser of her cookbooks, even I know that Martha Stewart/K-mart's ability to profit from the sale of these substandard products must come to an end.

Tempered glass patio table top shattered. We are still working on getting the glass cleaned up. We may have to rip up the carpet if we find more glass embedded in the carpet.

Not one but two Martha Stewart Glass Topped Patio Tables which were purchased in the past five years exploded into small glass pebbles. The last time was this July 4th, with six young grandchildren sitting around it. Luckily, they all escaped with minor cuts. I was not aware of a problem with the tables until I saw an article on the internet today.

My elderly mother had a Martha Stewart table that shattered unexpectedly in May, 2010. It has been in a screened in porch. Luckily, no one was hurt. My sister went to clean up the lazy susan had dropped down into the middle of the glass mess. She picked that up to start cleaning and the lazy susan shattered in her hands also. She was not hurt, but glass blew everywhere. Luckily, no one was there. I would think that refunding the cost of the entire set would be appropriate. I would think that someone should stop Martha Stewart from manufacturing these and make her pay a penalty. She benefited from the sale. She should pay people that have purchased her inferior products.

I, too, bought the Martha Stewart patio set in 2003. My set was on the porch, not in direct sunlight. I was in the yard watering flowers & I heard a terrible glass breakage only to find that my oval table glass top had literally exploded. Glass flew all over my porch and barley missed me. I confronted K-Mart And even took pictures of all the glass. I was told they could do nothing about it. I even submitted a complaint on the Martha Stewart website, but I never was contacted. I am very disappointed in K-Mart & Martha Stewart products!

Our Martha Stewart patio table shattered right before my eyes. I would not have believed it had I not seen it myself. There was no reason for it happening. It spontaneously broke apart in a million pieces. Glass everywhere! It was two years old, only used for a few months, the past two summers, taken apart and stored for winter. Wish I had read all of these similar stories before I purchased it.

I was walking from the car to the garage and heard a crashing sound. I looked around inside the garage to see if something fell, but found nothing out of place. I walked around to the deck in the back and found the glass in my Martha Stewart round table was laying on the deck in pieces. No one was around so I know it wasn't caused by another person or animal. We are preparing to go clean it all up shortly. What a mess!

Our Martha Stewart Living table exploded into thousands of tiny pieces. Now we do not have a table to go with our patio chairs. We are trying to figure out if we should just buy a new table and try to match or try to get glass? This just sucks.

As so many have already reported the Martha Stewart patio set we have owned, purchased at K-mart approximately may 2003, came to a shattering end this morning 05 July 2010. I was walking my dog as I do every morning @ 08:30, and when I was passing my next door neighbors' home I heard a "loud crack." Knowing my neighbor was out of town, I went to investigate in his back yard thinking someone may have broken in to his home through his sliding glass door. Nothing! I continued on the walk, returned home about 09:45 and as I washed my hands at the kitchen sink, I looked out the window to our deck, and there it was. The crack was my patio set table top in thousand of shards of glass. No one was injured, thankfully.

On July 4, 2010, I returned home to find my husband and brother amid thousands of glass shards on our covered patio deck. What a way to celebrate the holiday! The large bottom glass of the 54" lazy Susan table had exploded. Luckily, no one was injured. We have had the table and 5 chairs since purchasing it from K-Mart in California in 2003. It was never exposed to direct sunlight and survived our move from CA to MI. It's unconscionable that Martha Stewart and K-Mart have collectively ignored the hundreds of complaints that continue to amass!

We paid about $300 for the set that is now ruined. It took more than two hours of painstaking cleanup using brooms, shop-vac and a long handled screw driver to remove shards from between the deck floor boards. I can't imagine what would have happened we had been at the table eating or sitting anywhere near it. As seniors on a limited budget, we don't relish forking over for a new table that will match the rest of the set.

I bought my Martha Stewart Patio set 5 Years ago. I store it in the garage during the winter. Yesterday was a warm day, with nobody near the table, when all of a sudden, it exploded into thousands of tiny pieces. Luckily there was no children around. What's K-Mart or that ex-convict Martha ** going to do about it now?

My husband and I purchased a Martha Stewart 7 piece round glass with Lazy Susan patio table set in 2002. When the table was delivered, the glass was broken in the box, but K-mart did deliver another with no problem. In the winter, we have always stored the table in or 2nd garage, covered with nothing on top as a precaution. In March this year (2010), as the weather started getting warmer, I went in the garage to clean and dust to prepare to bring it out as usual, then I noticed the cover sagging, and the reason was that the glass was shattered in tiny pieces, such as a shattered car window would appear. I was devastated!

I accused my husband of being careless of doing something to cause this. Now, after reading the many complaints of those who have suffered the same, I have apologized to my husband. I loved the set and now have the chore of trying to find a glass company to replace it and shudder to find out what the cost might be or if it will be worth the effort. After trying to get help from K-mart, no one claims to know anything. If K-mart ever goes out of business, I won't miss them. As far as Martha Stewart, by not standing by a product she has her name attached to, maybe she should go back to jail. The first stint wasn't long enough. I have no table, am out of a lot of money, and will incur more expense by replacing the table or the glass. I would be happy to be mentioned in a class action suit!

I was walking toward my table to sit down and eat a meal when it suddenly imploded into a million tiny pieces. Nothing was on or near it. I purchased this table 1 month prior and now it is obsolete. Where can I find a replacement top? I am at a $300 loss, not to mention a cut to my elbow from the glass imploding and 2 hours of picking up tiny little glass shards so my daughter doesn't get cut on the deck.

Last night my Martha Stewart glass patio table shattered into thousands of pieces. There was nothing around to cause this and now I am without a table. I am told by K-Mart that they will not replace the table or glass and that the manufacturer is out of business, so I am SOL. I will take my business elsewhere in the future to a company that can back their product.

I was standing on my patio, about 5 feet from my patio furniture and it exploded right in front of my eyes- I could'nt believe my eyes. I stood there frozen. I now have a pile of ice blue glass under my table. I'd like to have some recourse, but it sounds like Martha collects the money and runs. She does not claim responsibility for anything that she sells, but gladly collects the money for the same.

After reading how many people have been affected by her exploding tables, I don't know how she can sleep at night. Some people have no conscience! I am now out a patio table and I was very upset and stressed when this happened today, thinking that my grandchildren could have been sitting there. There is glass all over my patio, mostly under the table, but as far away as 6 ft, what a sound when it exploded. I'll never forget it. Feudal drivings.

Had the victoria glass top patio table, that shattered, and the martha stewart mosaic bench discinigrated and the martha stewart wooden arbor that was glued and fell apart. All bought at K-mart.

I purchased a Martha Stewart Costa Mesa patio set last year. Last night I went to sit down to eat dinner, put my glass on the table and the glass table just shattered all over me. I was horrified. What could have caused this glass to just let go and shatter? I have minor cuts on my legs from sitting there when the glass shattered but all I want is a replacement table.

I came outside on 6/28/2010 to find my Martha Stewart Patio Table shattered on my pool deck. Pellets of glass were everywhere. Thank God no one was hurt or at the table at the time. The table is under our pool cage so know was broke the table or drop anything on it.

I was cleaning my patio table (Martha Stewart octagon shaped) and putting cushions on the chairs. While leaning over to clean the glass the table suddenly cracked and fell down onto my deck into little shards. I suffered two (2) deep cuts on my left wrist. I had to get someone to come over to help me get the glass up as much as possible. I bandaged my arm and am now at a complete loss as to what to do next.

On Friday, June 18, 2010, I returned home from work to find my Martha Stewart patio table had imploded into millions of pieces. Nobody had been on or near my pation table. My neighbor, who happened to be outside on his patio, heard a loud noise but did not go to investigate. I was forced to buy a new patio set....not Martha Stewart brand, and spend 2 full days cleaning up tiny morsels of glass. Very disappointed. I am a 65 yr old woman who physically was forced to spend 2 days in the sweltering heat cleaning glass from my pation. I was forced to purchase a new table and matching chairs since I was expecting guests a week later.

This set had cost over $600.00 and was used one season.

Purchased the dining table from Martha Stewart's patio collection approx. two years ago and this afternoon I walked onto my patio turned around (thank goodness) and the large octagon table spontaniously shattered. I now have tiny glass shards stinging my hands along with covering every inch of my two decks. I also have a pool that is very close to were the table exploded. Wont know if any shards got in the pool until I have it checked out. We usually have a yard full of family, but not today, thank goodness. It will cost me $200.00 to replace the table top (at least) and not with a Stewart exploding table, another $100 for a outdoor rug that was under the table which was shredded, plus if my hand requires a doctors visit and if the pool sustained any damage?

I bought a Martha Stewart 5 pc Wellington patio set, set it up with an umbrella and one morning found the table top broken into thousands of pieces on my deck. I contacted Home Depot who said that there was nothing that they could do. They referred me to BJI, the manufacturer. Talk about unhelpful. Both companies were more concerned about liabilities than the fact that the table is dangerous. Think twice before buying this table. I can't use the table which I bought for $400 and I'm still finding pieces of glass on my deck.

Our Martha Stewart glass top patio table purchased at K-mart just exploded into a million little pieces for no apparent reason. I immediately went outside and heard the pieces of glass popping on the deck.

Marth Stewart Outdoor Patio Glass Table Shattered.I luckily got up a moment before it shattered. my kids were just a few feet away as it shattered they ran and only got hit with a few pieces.

Glass top shattered.

Purchased a Martha Stewart patio set from Kmart,with a glass table top. Within the first summer large chunks of paint flaked off, leaving exposed metal that rusted. The cushions faded the first year and became moldy. The table top shattered into a million pieces for no apparent reason, it was a calm sunny day and luckily no one was on the deck when it happened.

Just like the others reporting below we came home to find our table's tempered glass shattered and on the floor. Avoid this product. No damage to anything else and no harm done to anyone. Just a mess to clean-up and the problem of what to do with the rest of the now mis-matched furniture.

I purchased Martha Steward Furniture a table and umbrella 5 chairs, 3 set lounge chair and two rocking chairs and the glass and lazy susie shattered and i can't locate a website for a replacement to the table glass. I am without a table and i had a thousand pieces to pick up on my deck and between the lumber on my deck.

The glass top of our expensive patio set just exploded into a million pieces for no appearent reason, what a mess on the deck. It took a lot of work just to clean it up. The price of new glass is to expensive. Now we have to try an find a table to match the rest of the set without making us go bankrupt.

Our Martha Stewart tempered glass dining table, which we purchased at KMart, was covered with a canopy sitting in front of our shed. When we removed the cover in March, there was glass everywhere because the table had shattered. We were very puzzled by this because there was nothing on or around it that would indicate any reason for it to shatter.

Glass table shattered onto our brick patio. Millions of little pieces and shavings of glass in the patio. So many glass shaving that our kids cannot use our large patio without shoes on!! Had to get rid of our patio set due to high cost to replace glass. Slivers of glass everywhere in grass and patio

out side bar glass shattered for no reason

I purchased the Martha Stewart Everyday Garden Victoria set in 2001; an umbrella, 5 chairs, seat cushions, and glass table. Over the course of a few years, the umbrella broke, the chairs rusted, the cushions became moldy and mildewy, and recently the glass table shattered into a million pieces on its own.

table shattered into hundreds of pieces, table was not being used at the time, we heard glass and went out to see what happened and saw shattered glass

The shattered glass table happened to me in the late summer of 2007. I purchased the outdoor dining set at my local KMart in Bridgehampton (which is also Martha's local store) While I was out shopping for a dinner party, unknown to me the tabletop had exploded, the umbrella fell through my kitchen window, broke the screen, toppled a vase which turned on my faucet and flooded my kitchen. You can't make this up, and I have witnesses.

I never knew what caused this until I came across this complaint site regarding the exploding tabletops. I had to buy a whole new table as it made no sense to replace the glass in the original. Additionally my patio is bluestone and the glass took weeks to pick out of all the cracks...a nightmare indeed. Pls keep me informed as to the development of events. minimally buyers should be compensated for the cost of the furniture!

As I mentioned my kitchen screen was torn, the kitchen flooded and my pine floors were soaked, necessitating some replacements and resanding and staining. As I said I have witnesses and you can't really make this up it was the strangest thing to come home to a gushing faucet, screen above the sink with an umbrella in it, the vase covering the drain, which resulted in the flooding.

My children purchased 11 pieces of a Martha Steward matching patio set from K-Mart. The table shattered just like many others I have read about, for no apparent reason. We were not injured but what a mess to clean all that shattered glass! My children paid to have this assembled so I am sure it was not our fault. It does not pay to have a new glass top made so now I have to find a table to match all of these other pieces. The set is not that old and they spent a lot of money on it. This is very upsetting and I am sure I will have no luck contacting K-Mart. If there is a suit going on please add me to it. I think Martha Stewart to make good for these tables!!!

I had to drill sheet metal screws into the frame at each end of the supporting band just to hold an adult without breaking. The glass table top ended up being a faulty design becuase of a lack of support. It eventually shaddered by being tipped on its side. This table would only survive under the most ideal circumstances. I also had the table on its side during assembly when I first got it. Clearly the table had been weakened over time due to its large diameter with no center support. I am finally over Martha. What a Witch.

This morning we walked out into our back yard and found our Martha Stewart glass table top had exploded. The Lazy Suzan part of the tabel top was still in one piece resting on the four legs. We too bought this rather expensive patio set at K-mart. The cost to replace the glass or table will be in the hundreds of dollars. Reading the other complaints I guess we are not alone.

We had the Martha Stewart Olympia Patio set for four years. Table and chairs were in great condition. One morning three days before Memorial Day 2010, awoke to find the table on our patio shattered into millions of pieces. We had no idea how it happened.

The glass is supposed to be a type of safety glass that breaks into pieces that won't cause as much injury, but that isn't the case here, it broke into those small cubes, BUT, it also created millions of little slivers of glass that cut all of our legs and feet. We hadn't even moved when it happened and we looked down and all of our legs and feet were bleeding. We have swept, vacummed numerous times and are still getting those tiny slivers of glass in our feet.

table shattered into many pieces for no reason.

I like several others had the glass table explode and busted into tiny pieces for no apparent reasons- this entire set was a very expensive set by martha Stewart and still have the entire set except for the glass- had estimates to replace the glass but they want $180+ and if there is a defect would like to know if something can be done about it

I understand that several of us who purchased an expensive outdoor set made by Martha Stewart and sold at K mart until a few years ago have had the table glass explode and break. Mine happened last year and never knew how it happened or why. Very expensive to replace and my set is in excellent condition.

My wife and i were sitting in the next room when we heard a loud crash. We thought it was a traffic accident, but then realized the glass table top in our three season room had shattered. Luckily, no one was sitting at the table. It shattered into thousands of pieces. I did an internet search and found hundreds of people tat have reported the same situation. PLease ad us to any class action suite that is in process. No option for replacement, so I'll have to junk the table frame and try to find something sort of replacement. I'll will never have anything good to say about MS. Stewart again. Maybe she should stick to insider-trading instead of selling her junk.

I am glad I searched for similar events - my one-year-old patio table just shattered the other day in pieces no smaller than a dime. Just like that! No heat, no mechanical damage just disintegrated! Anyone having luck getting replacement glass? My sister is a K-Mart manager and just told me they are not carrying the MS line (not for quality, but that KM went with Home Depot). Who do you write to or call?

Glass patio set table top exploded and glass shattered with no warning. Luckily, no one was seated at the table at the time and no injuries were sustained. Thousands of pieces of glass were left to pick up.

we purchased a martha stewart patio set about 3-4 years ago. it was a matching seven piece hexagon with umbrella. while setting it up this year for memorial day, i brought out the table, went back for some chairs and upon returning the whole glass top had shattered. i just googled it to see if I could get a replacement and discovered so many other shattering incidents. just thought i would put my story in here. its also nice for my wife to know that it was not my fault! it is sad, because such a distinct table is hard to replace, so do you buy a new set, or cut some plywood?

I bought a Martha Stewart Patio Set about 5 years ago and came home one night to find that the glass table top had shattered into many small pieces. I threw the the table frame out because it was too expensive to replace it. It wasn't until I read something on the Internet about everyone else that had the same problem. I kept the chairs, hoping I can find an inexpensive table to match. I didn't take a picture or save any of the glass, I guess I'm out of luck.

I purchased a Patio Set from K-Mart. Table with lazy Susan, four Chairs, Umbrella and stand, small table and two chairs. I got it at the end of the season stored it in the garage in all the origional packing. In the spring I was I was having my deck fixed and didn't attempt to put the set up until the summer. One afternoon I heard something in the garage pop loudly upon investigating I found nothing. A couple of weeks later I was moving the set out and realized the the table was completly in pieces. I could heard the pieces moving around in the box. The Table was properly stored and nothing was sitting on top of it. It is still in box.

I attempted to return it to K-Mart and they refused stating the amount of time since purchase. I looked at the price of another table. Two issues with that 1)more than I wanted to spend with a whole new set at home, 2)they did not have the color anymore. I tried to get the glass replaced and it cost as much as a whole new set. I thought I would try Martha Stewart online for help and found all the other complaints on the same product. Thank God mine was still in the box as I have a young son that loves to be outside on the deck. I am currently without a patio set.

I spent over a little over five hundred dollars for a complete set that I can not use, restore,or replace. The store refused to help me and never shared any information on the issues with the furniture. We were fortunate that no one was hurt. I would like to have replacement cost for the set I purchased.

My neighbor's were over for Memorial weekend get together. We were all sitting around table and unexpectedly, the table shattered into small pieces and everything broke that was on the table. We were all schocked. We had cuts and scrapes on our legs. I am very upset about this. I feel K-mart knew. We had the table for about 7 or 8 years. I have another one in the shed that they gave me for free. I now know why, they "knew" and did not care and wanted to give it away. I want to be comnpensated for this. Thanks.

I bought a Martha Stewart 7 piece patio table and chairs with matching umbrella about 3 years ago. Last year the button that controls the tilting of the umbrella popped off and could not be re-attatched. After storing the set for the winter, we put it back out this month and the umbrella will only open in a vertical tilt which makes it un-useable. It matches the chairs and I cannot find one to replace it anywhere. Boo !

My wife and I purchased a high top patio set from the Martha Stewart collection. It was kept indoors in the winter. We just had a new patio built on 5/2/10. We moved the table outside and the next day the glass top had mysteriously shattered into a million annoying pieces. I assumed something had hit it. But after searching the internet, I found that this is a common occurrence. Way to go Martha Stewart! That's what happen when you outsource your projects to third world countries and have some 11-year old manufacture the table for $.11 a week.

I purchased a patio set on August 4, 2005 from the above store, since closed. After the first summer, the chair arms began to peel and the table ends were turning black. The cushions have become worn and frayed and faded. So I called JRA Furniture, the manufacturer, several times and also K-Mart & Sears, their owner. I got no help at all. The entire set has deteriorated and needs to be replaced. It's a Martha Stewart Victoria collection. Is there a class action suit?

I purchased a Martha Stewart patio set at Kmart in Belleview, Florida about 4 years ago. I cannot remember the exact date. I paid $400 at that time. Today, my husband and I were sitting in the house and heard a huge crash. I went out to the patio and the glass table had shattered into a million pieces, the lazy Susan was still intact in the middle. There was absolutely no reason for the table to shatter. I am so thankful that my grandchildren or my dogs were not out there at the time it shattered.

I called Kmart and they said there is nothing they can do. I really thought that I was alone with this complaint. However, when I went on the website, I see that it has happened to other people. This is very dangerous and I thank God that nobody got hurt. I cannot believe that this product is still being sold with this happening.

On Sunday May 1, 2010, I was wiping off my glass top table patio set and the glass shattered everywhere. I now have 13 stitches in my left arm. I went to K-Mart to see what could be done (nothing). So now, I have a patio set that I can't use. I'm out around $400 (I got it on sale). Shame on K-mart and shame on Martha Stewart. I will no longer buy anything under her name. Thank God! It was not one of my grandchildren.

My Martha Stewart patio table glass also shattered in April 25, 2010, but the Lazy Susan was left in one piece. It seems odd that so many people have experienced the same problem. This is certainly a defect that should be dealt with as a recall. The fact that someone told a consumer the furniture can do this if left outside is ridiculous. Where else do you put the furniture, in the garage or the living room? I have kept the glass covered when not in use to keep it less exposed. Is there anything being done about a recall?

Our Martha Stewart's Victorian Collection patio dining table that we purchased at K-Mart in Simi Valley, CA in 2004 shattered in a million pieces. The La-Z-Boy piece stayed in one piece. My 4-year-old grandson as well as my dog were also nearby when it happened. This happened in April and just was told today that another party in Glendale, AZ had the same thing happen to her. I then read all the same stories online. It's unbelievable that this same product continues to be sold to other unsuspecting consumers. Something must be done.

We purchased a Martha Stewart patio table with glass top several years ago at Kmart. On 5-2-10 the glass top spontaneously shattered without any apparent cause. We searched the internet to look for possible reasons, and found that these Martha Stewart tables have a known history of shattering. Not only has there been no recall, or warning notice, but Kmart continues to sell these tables to unsuspecting customers, knowing that the glass table tops have this dangerous defect.

We were fortunate that my kids and I were not sitting at the table when it shattered, and that no one was injured. Our only real damage is the expense of having to replace the table. Our motivation in filing a complaint is to request that some type of action be taken to protect others who don't realize that they have a ticking time bomb around their family, and to put pressure on Kmart to notify people who have purchased this product about its defect, and to stop selling a dangerous product to unsuspecting customers.

I purchased an Olympia Table with a lazy susan with 4 chairs and additional set of 2 chairs with ottomans and table. Extremely difficult in getting set together. Glass is warped in the table. We're unable to return and no other's available, so we kept it. I purchased it for Memorial Day Weekend 2009.

Two weeks later, approximately June 15, every piece of furniture had rust on it and the legs of the chairs had rust streaks running down the legs. The joints on the chairs were not properly soldered and painted. I contacted Numark, and their solution to the problem was a lot of paint which would be sent to us and a K-Mart gift card for $100.

I accepted this but am extremely disappointed in this furniture which cost me $799 on sale at K-Mart. This company makes shoddy items. We're unable to return the merchandise, because my husband is disabled and we have no truck. We paid someone to pick it up for us at the store. Also out that $50.

Looking for replacement table for my Martha Stewart table (Victoria collection, I believe, with all the beautiful leaves etched into the glass) when I happened upon this site. My Lazy Susan shattered first (sometime last year) while table was stored in my basement. Because my husband was away on military duty this fall, I did not bring table downstairs for the winter. It lasted the whole winter outside, no problem. Then about two weeks ago, when weather was warming and I was getting ready to set up deck, I went outside and found that the entire piece of glass had shattered into a million pieces the previous night.

I called for replacement glass at Numark Industries, Inc. on my Martha Stuart Olympia style table top that shattered into a million pieces. I asked the customer service person if they had any other complaints and she said no. I thought I was the only one until I saw your website. They actually were going to sell me another one. When I called back to cancel my order, Ms. Rena told me that it only happens when you leave them outside. Well, it is outdoor furniture for heaven's sake! I cancelled my order. We paid about $400 for this set and know I am searching for a way to replace the table top with something that will be safe.

I had the same experience with the Martha Stewart patio dining table that all these other people are describing. The Lazy Susan was intact but the main glass table shattered into a million pieces. I too had to use a shop vac to get all of the pieces so that we don't cut our feet or our dog's paws. Very, very disappointing. I mean it when I say I won't buy any more of her products. I received several cuts on my feet and hands while cleaning up the imploded mess.

My glass table top exploded for no reason.

The entire glass patio table top (Martha Stewart Victoria Collection) shattered for no reason this weekend. Thank God, no one was injured. The glass Lazy Susan in the middle of table is fine and is not broken. This table is one piece of a six piece outdoor dining set. I expected it to last much longer. In 2004, I also purchased seven other pieces of the set as well. Other than the rusting that occurred with several of these pieces (including the dining chairs) over the years, the rest of the pieces are intact. I must purchase another table this year if I want to enjoy outdoor dining with guests. This is a monetary setback that was not budgeted for nor expected. None of the Martha Stewart items will ever be purchased again. Goodbye matching set!

I bought the Martha Stewart outdoor dining set also in 2008. I only had it for about 6 months before my glass table shattered into a million pieces. I must say the set was a waste of money and I sent my complaints to a dozen people, I never got any responses. The store manager said that they weren't gonna replace it. So now I'm stuck with just the four chairs. I am very disappointed that just last summer I went to Kmart and the same set was still being sold after all the complaints! The set is dangerous and need to be recalled.

Our Martha Stewart patio table glass shattered for no reason. This is the second Martha Stewart patio table we have had this happen to. Yes, I said the second. No way to replace glass and you cannot purchase, only a replacement table. You are forced to purchase an entirely new set! I'm very, very dissatisfied! I'm left with patio chairs and a table frame with no glass!

The glass on my Martha Stewart patio table shattered while I was under it, tightening the umbrella into its base. Thousands of chunks of glass fell onto me leaving my arms, neck and head with several small cuts and nicks. Tiny shards of glass also embedded in my neck and shoulders. I had to shop a vacuum to gather all the pieces out of the lawn to keep my one-year old from getting anything stuck in her feet or hands. Home Depot said the glass couldn't be replaced. They only sell sets of tables with chairs but that I should contact Martha Stewart's company.

I have a patio table now with nothing in it and no way to really get something to replace the glass. The new table and chairs are about $400. I'm not buying a whole new set for replacement glass and I don't know now if I want to risk getting glass again.

I happened to be searching to find replacement glass when I saw this site. I had emailed JRA immediately upon having the glass break-spring of 09 I think and of course never heard a word. I didn't realize until I found the article that it was not a onetime thing. Mine shattered exactly as the others- out of the blue.

Had a Martha Stewart patio set purchased from Kmart and without warning the glass tabletop exploded into a million pieces covering the deck with small pieces of glass. Took a long time to clean up. Nothing fell on the table at all. Pieces of glass embedded in the deck had to be power washed out.

My outdoor patio set was sitting on my patio. My wife was inside the house when she heard a loud crash. She looked all around the house to find something toppled over. When she went out our back door, she saw millions of glass shards on the ground and no glass on our table top, albeit our Lazy Susan was still intact. She spent the next 1 1/2 cleaning up tiny pieces of glass while our two-year old daughter stood at the back door screaming she wanted to play outside. We are extremely disappointed that Martha Stewart would allow her brand to be tarnished like this and you can rest assured I, nor anyone I know, will ever buy anything with the Martha Stewart brand.

I bought a Martha Stewart patio set with five chairs last year from Kmart and the Lazy Susan exploded. Now, one was around. How can I get a replacement? Yes, I cut up my hands when I was trying to replace the mess.

We purchase the Martha Stewart outdoor patio Victoria Collection. The round tempered glass table shattered. Luckily, no one was outside! I heard a loud glass breaking sound. When I went outside there was trillions of slivers of glass covering all 5 chairs and the ground in an approximate 12 by 12 foot area. Nothing was on the table at the time. It appears to have exploded without any known cause.

It took hours to clean all the slivers. My son got cut from a sliver of glass that penetrated the chair cushion, we had to throw all 5 cushions away and replace, for fear of other slivers that may have imbedded into the fabric and did not vacuum out.

I just purchased this new set from Home Depot 2 weeks ago. Just yesterday, I was outside cleaning the pool when I heard a crash. I thought for sure my kids were doing something wrong but noticed nobody was outside. I saw that the brand new table to the set we just bought shattered into a million pieces. It literally took 2 hours to get every single piece of glass up. My son who thought it would be okay to sit down in the chair today accidentally cut his hand on a shard that I missed. Nice to know others have had similar issues but where do I go from here. I don't want to replace it just to go through the same thing in the near future.

My story is exactly the same as Patricia of Harrisburg, PA minus the fact that my cat was inside vs outside. I went online to purchase a replacement and found a ton of the same complaint. My purchase was made in 2002, I think. I came home from an appointment and saw that my Martha Stewart patio glass table top shattered into pieces. I never saw so much glass. It took me about 1 1/2 hours just to clean up all of the glass. I had never seen anything like that before. No one was home and I do have a fence in backyard.

Nothing fell on the table and nothing was even around the table, but the chairs. Thank God I put the dogs in before I left. Normally, I leave them outside and they lay on the patio near the table. I purchased this table in April of 2004 at Kmart and decided tonight to search for replacement glass when I found that Martha Stewart's Patio furniture tabletops do explode for no reason.

I woke up this morning to find that the glass top on my patio set has been shattered into about a million pieces! And the leg on one of the chairs also rusted and exploded. I had this set less than a year. Economically, I paid about $600.00 for this set. Now, I have nothing! This is pathetic especially when I saw how many complaints were out there and these tables are still being sold, shame on the stores that are selling them!

I came home from an appointment and saw that my Martha Stewart patio glass table top shattered into pieces. I never saw so much glass. It took me about 1 1/2 hours just to clean up all of the glass. I had never seen anything like that before. No one was home and I do have a fence in backyard. Nothing fell on the table and nothing was even around the table but the chairs. Thank God I put the dogs in before I left. Normally I leave them outside and they lay on the patio near the table. I purchased this table in April of 2004 at K-mart and decided tonight to search for replacement glass when I found that Martha Stewart's Patio furniture tables tops do explode for no reason.

The glass top patio table simply exploded! It shattered into a million pieces for no reason. It is the "Lazy Susan" model and the glass of the Lazy Susan stayed in the center of the table. There are many, many complaints on this site of this occurrence and I wish I knew of this problem sooner. Please take some action about this and get back to me. The expense of a replacement and the fear of this happening, while someone is sitting at the table possibly suffering injuries. It is so prevalent that the manufacturer should be stopped from manufacturing this inferior and dangerous product!

I purchased a Martha Stewart Victoria Glass-Top Table and 5 matching chairs with cushions and matching Sun Umbrella about 2003 from K-Mart. In the last several years (about 5 years after purchase), the paint is chipping, peeling on the table frame and the cushions have faded in color and have some splits/tears in the fabric.

Other members of my family loved my set so much that they also went out and bought sets. I received an e-mail on 4/7/2010 that my sister/brother-in-law's exact set had "exploded" and they have informed me they had a mess. I am afraid to keep this set after reading the reports - now I don't know what action to take on my part.

Today is April 5, 2010. We purchased a Martha Stewart Melrose collection bar and four stools on June 27, 2009. The set was put into storage after Oct 2009. When we took it out, it had started to rust at every weld joint and where the plastic feet are inserted into the legs. I was told, "This set is made of steel and steel rusts, so it is an act of God." I don't think God put the paint on this bar set. It is a disgrace to sell products like this that don't last even one year. Martha Stewart should be very careful about which products she endorses.

My tempered glass patio table exploded for no apparent reason. When it exploded, it shattered into a million pieces. When I went online to try to find another table, I ran across countless complaints for the same thing. Why aren't people who manufacture such products held accountable? It seems this had been happening for some time with this product.

We were outside mulching our yard and cleaning up the flowers bed and all of a sudden we heard this loud crash of glass from the back side of the house. We ran back there to see what it was and my glass table with the lazy Susan just was ruined glass was everywhere. We didn't know what happen we just purchased this last summer. This is awful, we shouldn't be responsible for this if this is a defected product.

I bought a patio table for my mother last year and they store it inside during the winter. It was brought out today for the first time this year and it just broke... nothing hit it or fell on the table. No steps are on the deck, so no animals. We don't understand why it broke or how it broke by itself until I went online to find a replacement glass to buy and found out that this happens a lot. I found this site and feel that everyone should write to you and let you know.

Our octagon-shaped Martha Stewart table purchased at K-Mart in 2003 shattered suddenly. Thank goodness the six of us were not seated around it when this happened. We went to K-Mart and bought a replacement table not knowing of the long history of these tables shattering without warning. When we purchased the replacement table, why were we not told about this problem? I just discovered online, the many, many complaints of others who have had this same experience.

My Martha Stewart Victoria collection glass top shattered for no apparent reason other than inferior manufacturing quality. This set was purchased on 4/29/02 and has always been stored inside during the winters. After returning home one evening my wife and I were surprised to see it shattered into small fragments that were spread all over my entire deck.

The large section was the one that shattered and the small one was still intact. I cannot understand why these are still being sold knowing there is a problem. What protection does the consumer have regarding safety and protection? I will not replace this glass knowing a problem exists and put someone in harm's way. This conduct to continue using this glass table top is unacceptable. This makes this Martha Stewart patio set worthless. What a waste.

Patio table shattered into a million pieces. No one was around and this is the second time this has happened to this table. After the first time we replaced it but I won't do it again.

I have the Martha Stewart Melrose collection Bar Set with 4 chairs. One of my glass tops shattered. I am looking for a replacement panel. If anyone has one or knows where I can get one, I would greatly appreciate it. It has the leaf pattern design in the glass. I had only used the set one summer. It matches the octagon table and chair set that I have and I also have the small round side tables and I want it all to match.

I also purchased a Martha Stewart patio set that the glass just shattered. It was stored indoors in the winters. It was purchased around 2006 and in the summer of 2009, shattered with my 4-year old only a few feet away. How scary. I have read other consumers have complained about the same problem. Is there any resolution to the problem? There are no other concerns with the product.

I purchased a Martha Stewart patio set from the K-Mart store in Ontario, Ohio. It is no longer open. I do not know the exact date but the glass in the tabletop shattered in hundreds of tiny pieces. I heard the noise and watched it happen. I did not even know about all these other people having the same problem until I went to look up the furniture as now my cushion ripped on the one chair and I wanted to try to fix it. I had to buy a whole new table as K-Mart would not do anything about it, claimed it must have been something I did to the table. We always took real good care of it and took the chairs in in the winter and covered the table with a heavy tarp and tied it down, put it up on wood blocks to keep it off of the snow. It sat on our deck, not the grass. No help at all from K-Mart.

I purchased a Martha Stewart Outdoor set from K-Mart and the following problems occurred: After approx. three years, the glass shattered in the table without warning or cause. The metal on the furniture rusted within the 1st season. The canopy on the swing and the gazebo dry rotted and tore within two years. We now have a table without glass, a swing without a cover and rusted metal furniture.

I was told by my wife somebody broke our table top and she wanted to call the police. After I came home and checked it out I found no signs of foul play. It just broke in a million pieces and I have found out I am in good company as this is a common problem. What disappoints me even more is that I spent my time refinishing this set after all the paint was peeling and rusting. Now I have a good set of chairs and table but no glass top.

April of 08, I was sitting in the house and heard loud noise. I look out on deck and the Martha Stewart rose table top broke into million pieces. I keep it in the basement all winter. It's only a year old. Kmart would not refund or replace. I had to buy new one. I am now rolling down umbrella with one arm broke. Guess what, no replacement parts available, no warranty. Kmart basically said sorry, buy a new one. I don't carry that style. Thank you, Martha Stewart.

I was outside with my 3 children and we heard a loud crashing sound. 5 feet away from us, the glass table top had shattered and crashed to the ground. It was everywhere. We had to clean for days to be sure everything was cleaned to protect our kids. No physical damage except a few cuts on my fingers cleaning the glass off of the concrete. Cost of having the patio pressure washed and now, we need a new patio set and are out the cost of this one. Total time we had the set was 10 months.

The patio table shattered into a million pieces. Since K-Mart no longer carries this furniture since last year, we cannot get compensation or replacement. Glass shards covered our entire backyard deck. We had to hire professionals, to remove the glass.

In 2000, I purchased Martha Stewart patio furniture set (round glass top table with lazy Susan and 5 chairs). After 2 years of owing the table, the finish on all 5 chairs was cracking and peeling. In 2009, the glass top of the table suddenly broke into tiny pieces of glass, falling into the grass. I now do not have a patio table and there is glass in the grass (even after cleaning several times) and I have children who play in the backyard.

I purchased a Martha Stewart Outdoor Patio Set in 2001 from Kmart. One night in September, the glass table shattered into little pieces. The noise was so loud, we thought that there was a car accident outside. When we went to investigate, we located the shattered table. There was shattered glass everywhere.

I came home from work one day and my Martha Stewart Bar Top table shattered to pieces all over my patio. It took me hours to clean up! Now, I'm left with an umbrella and four chairs around a glassless table! There is not even any information to replace glass or table to use along with all the other pieces I have.

We were inside the house when we heard a loud noise. We went outside and discovered the table top shattered. The umbrella had been inserted. There was an evening breeze that we are guessing caught the umbrella, but don't know for sure. As other complaints have noted, there was glass all over the place and if the replacement glass is too costly, we will have to buy a new patio set.

We had purchased a Martha Stewart outdoor patio bar a few years back. On 2007, my husband, who had just passed away in '08 was putting the umbrella into the hole at the top and all of a sudden the whole top popped into a million pieces. We both looked at each other and could not believe what had just happened. Thank God he did not get hurt or get glass in his eyes. We thought that maybe the umbrella had hit the top but now after reading all these stories, we know different. I may have the receipt but I'm not sure. We had to make sure we picked up all the glass since we have two children and entertain a lot in the warm weather. We were out the cost of the bar and chairs.

I purchased from Kmart in 2006 a complete set of patio furniture; a glass table with 6 chairs, a bar with 3 stools, chaise lounge, a cushioned chair and glider, and also 3 glass topped little tables. A year ago, the glass on top of the bar, for no apparent reason, exploded so I got rid of it. What a waste! Then 2 weeks ago, I was in my den and heard a loud bang. When I looked around, I discovered the glass top on my patio table had exploded. This set has never been in any direct sun or bad weather! Now I am stuck with bags of glass and six chairs and no table. I am a widow and recovering from a broken left femur and it was awful to try and clean up the mess.

After researching this on the Internet, I find I am not the lone ranger when it comes to this happening. They should not be able to get away with this and not compensate all of us who made the fatal mistake of trusting the Martha Stewart name as being a quality product. Perhaps we should all band together and seek compensation through a class action law suit. If anyone is interested, please contact me! I am really upset. My set is ruined and I am stuck with all these chairs and no matching table. This is not fair. I paid over $1200 for all the furniture I bought and now have all of it is junk.

We have a Martha Stewart outdoor patio set (six-piece) round table with Lazy Susan. We store it every winter downstairs in our basement (well protected). We were down stairs and we heard a huge crash. Looked over, only to see the glass top of my table in a million pieces. However, the Lazy Susan was still in one piece, which is strange. For no apparent reason, this glass just made a loud noise and shattered. Glass are every where, scratched up the flooring, while trying to sweep it up. The table is now a non-functional 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 someone 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 enclosed patio 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.

We paid over $500.00 for this table and now that times are very hard we have no way of replacing it at this time. It did give the neighbors a heart attack because they thought for sure that someone was breaking in and they called the police. It was that loud of a crash. Our neighbors are in their early 70s and I would have been very upset if one of them had actually had a heart attack from being scared.

I called about the Martha Stewart patio table that shattered in my backyard. I requested that the table be replaced or I should be reimbursed for the defective table. I was advised by the representative that they don't carry that table and the manufacture company is no longer in business, that nothing could be done about the defective table.

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.

Sitting around a Martha Stewart outdoor patio table reading the morning paper when the glass spontaneously shattered.

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.

I woke up when i heard a big boom on the patio.when i looked my beatiful glass table was shattered to tiny pieces.i have small children who could have gotten hurt.It was the most awful sight to see.Im realy dissapointed.

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.

My glass top on my patio set broke into thousand but for no reason. It was at 900 PM no one was around it we heard a big bang look outside and the table was in bits.

So much for animal lover Martha with such a defective product. I see in reading this that Martha nor Kmart/Sears is owning up to this issues - so much for outdoor dining. Several cuts during the clean up process, Cost of useless patio set that will have to replaced.

Previously, we had purchased a large Martha Stewart table and 6 chairs for our sunroom. We use this almost on a daily basis especially during the summer. It is housed in a glass enclosed sunroom where it is protected from the elements. While my daughter was doing her home work in the sunroom, she heard a crackling noise. She said the glass table just shattered. Luckily, she wasnt sitting at the table! She told me as soon as I got home from work. Another unreliable, unsafe Martha Stewart product, another few hours to clean up a pile of shattered glass and now unusable Martha Stewart furniture. Imagine two Martha Stewart products (within a few weeks) having the same thing happened to them. Both pieces of furniture are now completely useless to me and my family. I cant even imagine how much the glass would cost to replace!

While speaking with my cousin who lives in New York, I mentioned what happened to both the table and the bar. She stated that the same thing happened to her Martha Stewart patio table. This seems to be more than a coincidence. What kind of products is your company producing? Obviously the glass is inferior. I have always heard (before these incidents) that Martha Stewart products were a great addition and value to any home. I am very concerned not only for myself but for others. What happens if a group of people are sitting at the table or bar they have purchased and the glass just shatters as it did twice to us?

We purchased two Martha stewart patio sets. My sister brought me a set with table, chairs and an umbrella and the table shattered with nothing on it. Glass went all over. I contacted Sears and they said that too much time passed but this is some type of defeat a table should not just shatter. Please direct me on what I can do to replace the table.

What can I do or who can I contact to get compensation to replace the glass? I did read online about a class action law suit that had been filed in 2005 but was thrown out of court. Will there be another one filed soon. I would like to be included.

I was duped twice. my glass table shattered and like everyone else it took months to get all the glass up. my wife blamed it on the wind. stupid me due to price I went back and bought another set and the next year the same thing happened without the unbrella in it. i am now looking for a new table in winter. not a good time since the sales ended in july to augest. i will not buy another from Kmart at any price.

10/19/09 - Our patio table is kept in an enclosed porch. The lazy susan portion shattered all on its own and I am afraid the rest of the table will also shatter at some point.

I heard a loud explosion and outside my martha stewart glass outdoor patio table with a lazy susan(right now I want to call it lazy Martha)shattered in a million pieces!!!!! Mt brand new glazed stamped concrete patio has total scratches all under the table. I have taken photos. I had a cover on it to protect it from the elements. It had proper air flow if that even matters.

I bought my set of Martha Stewart patio furniture about 4 years ago. On Monday September 21st, 2009 I came home to a huge pile of shattered glass in my yard. Nothing around that seemed to have fallen through the glass. Asked my neighbors if they saw or heard anyone in my backyard, nothing. I assumed it was one of those random weird things..... until I was searching for replacement glass table tops. Ironic it took me to Martha Stewart consumer complaint site.

Glass top shattered into millions of tiny pieces all over my porch. Took me hours to clean up, and now without a table. Just chairs. Martha/Kmart should reimburse.

Our Martha Stewart glass top patio table shattered! The chairs, one by one, ripped apart. The quality of the materials used for the chairs was substandard. The frame of the chair did not allow us to replace the fabric so we could continue to use the chairs. Once the fabric ripped, we had to throw the chair away.

Like many other complaints on here, my glass table top shattered for no apparent reason. Thankfully we were all inside when it happened. I don't want a replacement, obviously this table is DANGEROUS and should be RECALLED!! Mine is from the Martha Stewart everyday garden Olympia Collection, which appears to no longer be available at Kmart! Now we all have an expensive patio dining set, but with no table and no matching replacement table!!

There was no warnings of it shattering. My husband and I never even heard it shatter and I'm sure it must have been loud when it did shatter! these tables are very dangerous and need to be taken off the market. I would either like a replacement or refund. There's not a table to sit at, in our backyard under the patio anymore.

I bought a Martha Stewart glass patio table in May of 2008 for my anniversary. I have always wanted one and figured a Martha Stewart table would be a nice one because she put her name on it. I was hosing off the patio the other night, the kids were playing and all of the sudden I heard an explosion and looked over and there was glass all over the ground. My 1 year old daughter was going over to play with it and I stepped on a bunch of glass so she wouldn't. We all went in the house and I immediately called my husband to clean it up.

My Martha Stewart collection glass table exploded. I came home from work and found glass all over my patio.

I just found the round glass top on my Martha Stewart Victoria Collection patio dining table shattered on my patio floor. What a mess to clean up! Now of course I am going to have to look for a replacement.

I was actually looking online of how to get reimbursed or at least a replacement for my outdoor glass table which is part of a complete, but not cheap set, made by MARTHA STEWART.What is agrevating me even more now, is to see that the first table I had from the same company shattered, but both my husband and I thought perhaps something caused it, though we did not have anything sitting on, nor even umbrella with it.We came home one afternoon and it was totally shattered into millions of pieces. Not even thinking that it was a defect for the chairs were good. So we went out and bought a whole another set even more expensive then the first, mainly for the fact that we liked the color scheme and did not put 2 and 2 together! We just bought this set about 4 months ago, and last month we heard an explosion, looked out our front door, windows, couldn't figure out where it came from. Our son went to go let our dog out and started yelling, hey our tables broken again!, that's when we realized it was the table that exploded. So now this is the second set, I have now spent over a grand on MARTHA STEWART furniture, and have 2 sets of chirs, 8 and 6, and no freakin table!!!! I feel that with all of the complaints listed here, that MARTHA STEWART should have a recall of her tables and replace the ones that have been purchased with in a certain time frame for there is NO WAY that a table should shatter under a year or two and put people or kids at risk of getting hurt! But maybe that's what it will take, some innocent child at that table or by it, to get severly hurt until they do something. Never PROACTIVE always DAMAGE control!

My husband took the glass table top out of our basement to clean it before company arrived. Before he had a chance to set the table down, it shattered in his hands. He suffered some cuts and scrapes on his hands and lower arms. We were able to get most of the pieces up off the driveway after 45 minutes with a shop vac. This happened on August 29th, 2009.

We are told to file a complaint. How is that going to replace me table top?

yesterday afternoon 9/22/09 our patio glass table exploded. glass all over. this table also had the lazy susan in the center but that survived. thnak god we have 2 2year olds that play out by the patio on this table all summer long. yesterday was ugly out so they were inside.

I had a Martha Stewart Patio table (glass with lazy susan) that shattered. Luckly no one was hurt but I needed to replace the glass top for $300 - neither Kmart nor the manufacturer was of any help.

The glass table top of my Martha Stewart Victoria Patio Table shattered today, September 18,2009. I have read dozens of complaints regarding the exact same problem. It is obviously a defective product and I want restitution. I paid $600.00 for the set. I was sitting about 2 feet from the table when it occurred. It scared me to death!

I purchased a whole set of Martha Stewart patio furniture,I spent over $600.00 just for the glasstop umbrella table, also bought sofa 2 rockers coffee table spent over 1000.00 dollars. 2 weeks ago at my grandson 1 birthday the glass on the table exploded. No one was hurt because we were just getting ready, I heard an explosion the glass crumbled. some one could get hurt.

I called another kmart store since ours closed and they said they stipped making he victorian line a year ago. Know I have no table to go with 5 chairs or umbrella, I always took my

cushions in and umbrella just because I wanted to keep this set nice now I can't find a table to match, still looking. We can't afford a new set, I'm understanding this is not the only one this is happen to, I read 140 complaints about the glass exploding. I'm also concern my grandson and my company could of been hurt!

My Martha Stewart octogon table also shattered into a million pieces. I covered it when not in use and it was covered at the time of explosion, which probably was better because the pieces all shot down and no one was injured. It was a little over a year old so I knew it was out of warranty and just bought a new one, now if I would have seen all of these complaints first I would have went for another brand, I hope this one lasts.

I bought it about 2 years ago from the above store but do not have a receipt. Am I able to receive a new one and do I have to go to the store itself or to the manufacturer? If manufacturer where and/or to whom do I get in contact with. My glass top on my patio set exploded into a million pieces, luckily while no one was sitting at the table. I still have it in the condition it happened and the glass has not been cleaned up.

On September 9, 2009 we discoverd that our glass table top broke. It was not a windy day or bad weather. The galss was a tempered glas that we are still picking up the glass on uor deck. We are confused why this happen. can you please help us out with this matter.

I bought martha stewart pacific palisades dining table and 5 chairs from kmart just this summer 2009 to come home yesterday sep.10 2009 to fing the glass to shattered i would like to have a new table but was told there was nothing they could do told to complait to consumer affairs

We purchased the set in August of 2003...Martha Stewart Victoria...at K Mart. The cushions were replaced by JRA in December of 2004. This morning, September 11, 2009, I heard this tremendous crash and discovered only the lazy susan portion still intact...the whole glass top lay scattered over the brick floor of my sunroom and the chairs...where my CATS frequently sit!! Thank God no one was seated or in the room at the time...not cats nor grandchildren! When I called the manager at K Mart this morning ahe claimed that she 'had never heard of such a 'problem'. Is it any wonder people so mistrust [and hate] big business??

We bought a Martha Stewart patio table 3 years but did not remove it from its box until two years ago.. Last weekend it exploded.. My four year old daughter and dog were right next to it when it happened.. This table was not only beautiful it was very dangerous.. I believe that the company responsible for this problem should send me a new patio set or at least a new safe replacement glass table top.

Like everyone, our Martha Stewart octagon glass patio table just "blew up" this afternoon. We bought it in 2002 at the Ocala,Florida K Mart, which now suggests many, many people out there also have a ticking time bomb in their patio.

Martha Stewart patio table glass shattered again for no reason. This is the second time! Why should I pay for a new one again?

I have the martha stewart patio glass table, about a month ago, my table shattered to pieces, I then contact martha stewart consumer relation to express my experience about martha stewart patio furniture. A response was sent to me via email to send pictures of the table and to explain what happened. I completed the request and submitted my infomation via email.

I then received a call and was advised to call corporate office of kmart, when I called them they said the the company that made the table was out of business and the warranty of the table is expired. I explained to them that it was a defected table in the begining and a class action suit was against martha stewart about the patio table. I explain to them that I wasnt trying get money for nothing, they can replace the table or send a check to replace to the table because the table was a defected table.

I explain to them I now have five chairs with no table. they told me to contact the martha steware consumer relations because they can help me. I contacted consumer relations again by email, and they have not responded back about my concerns, this is so unprofessional, I purchased Martha Stewart items before and was elated with her items, this is bazzar that they will not help me with defected table.

We purchased a Martha Stewart table and 6 chairs in late 2007. Our table "exploded" in the same manner that was listed by all the other consumers. We took pictures, and like the other consumers, Kmart says they will not do anything about it.

I purchased a Martha Stewert Patio Set with 2 straight leg chairs and 4 swivel chairs,Glass tables .So far 2 people have been injured when a swivel chair broke right off and the person go flying backwards.This has happened twice and I feel the other 2 are ready to do the same thing.I want a refund or 6 new chairs that match.

Like SO MANY other consumers that I have read about online, I too was duped by an EXPLODING Martha Stewart Patio Table with the leaf glass design.

I am amazed that these tables were not recalled. What a dangerous game KMart and Martha are playing.

I also had the beautiful Martha Stewart octagon glass table purchased 2007 with the whole set of everything we just watched it shatter into a million pieces. I can't believe there is not a recall on this table. I am so thankful we were not eating with guests at the time. Nobody was by it we just heard it crackle and shatter!

Martha Stewart patio table shattered, lazy susan center left intact. Had to replace table and unable to find something to match chairs also had to replace them - an entire patio set that was an unexpected expense three days before Labor Day with company expected.

Shattered patio table top for no apparent reason, Martha Stewart brand

The glass patio table exploded. Glass is everywhere. I have 2 more of these Martha Stewart time bombs on the deck. I now have to replace the tables. I can't find anything like what I lost. My little dog was scared, but luckily unhurt. I cannot let my children play outside because of the other 2 tables. I am going to try to tape them tonight so clean up will be easier.

Just as many others have stated...I heard a strange sound and when I turned to see what the sound was, I saw the shattered glass from the Martha Stewart Patio set covering my deck. The weather was beautiful and sunny, temp was in the low 70's. How inconvenient-Damage to my newly stained deck and a ruined patio set 3 days before our Labor Day BBQ.

Well, it finally happened, I've joined the elite group of people all over the United States that have a Martha Stewart patio table, minus the glass top. I woke up this morning to a patio covered in millions of pieces of glass. Sometime during the night it exploded. We purchased this set at Kmart close to nine years ago. At least we are lucky enough to have owned it long enough that I feel we got our money's worth out of it.

I first heard about the table's defect several years ago. But what do you do, get rid of a very nice table set, because it might explode? Well, when you put it like that....anyway, After a time I even forgot about it. Luckily, no one was around the table when it happened. I really don't understand how no one is being accountable for this issue. Well, time to shop for a new patio set, and I certainly will not be looking at any Martha Stewart products!

Kmart patio table by Martha Stewart glass top all of a sudden shattered yesterday morning about 11:00 AM. No one was sitting at the table at the time. Table is worthless without a top.

I have had my Martha Stewart Victoria Collection patio table for approximately 10 years. I loved that table. It had grace and style and it was affordable. Unfortunately, when I returned home from errands last Monday I was about to let my dog into the back yard and noticed a lot of reflection and shiny material on the flagstone patio. I realized to my horror that it was the remains of my [once] beautiful table!

The umbrella was positioned above it, opened, and had sustained no damage from anything - i.e. a falling limb, etc. - and I had to surmise that the table simply imploded on it's own. The weather was mild and sunny - I just could not understand what had happened - until I GOOGLED K-Mart Martha Stewart Patio Table, and was amazed that it brought up (many) complaints just like mine! I called my husband, who did a search and told me later that the company who manufactured the table for K-Mart had gone bankrupt suddenly, and then I called K-Mart and was told they are not liable for the table.

Had this table on my pool deck. For a month only we were about to have a birthday party and I went to take the umbrella out and the table just shattered right then and there. Couldn't even believe it. Still have the pieces of the table here.

WE had a Martha Stewart Outdoor Dining table EXPLODE on us this past weekend. There were children around and we had to spend 2 hours cleaning it up b/c it was down on the grass. WE also had issues in the past w/ the paint peeling on the chairs. I would like compensation for the cost of replacing or fixing the table. WE now have no outdoor dining table and we do not feel that we should be out the cost of a new table for an obviously DEFECTIVE piece of furniture.

I went in my backyard two weeks ago to water my plants and discovered that my Martha Stewart Glass Patio Table had shattered into a million pieces! I thought maybe it happened because it was too hot outside, although it was only 82 degrees, and it had survived many, many days over 100 degrees. I have been looking everywhere for a new patio table, but it has been very difficult because they are out of season right now. I decided to google Martha Stewart Patio Tables to see if I could order a replacement. That is when I came across several articles that state that these table tops are notorious for shattering! I thought that I would share my experience, so that you would know that it has also happened to me.

Like many others I have read about, my Martha Stewart Patio Table shattered into a million pieces for no reason.

I originally purchased it at a Kmart in Middleburg Heights, OH in 2003.

Yesterday the kids were playing on the table and luckily finished before the table exploded for no reason. It's the same round table with the leaf pattern that eveyone else is complaining about as well.

As all the other people. My Martha Stewart glass patio shattered for no reason. This is the second time that this happened. I wrote the first one off. This time it shattered while I was sitting at the table and it cut my foot. I contacted sears and Kmart. I was told that they do not warantee the glass and that it probably shattered due to the heat. What is the sense of having a patio table if you cant use it during the summer. They referred me to the manufactuer who is no longer in business. I am also filing a complaint with the Attorneys General regarding this issue.

Now I have 6 chairs and no table. well I have the table frame just no glass!!!

After the explosion of glass, you could hear crackling sounds as the glass continued to break into smaller pieces.

The patio table was in my backyard. Luckily dog was not underneath, or kids around. Shattered for no reason. Can't afford another. Single mom.

Glass table shattered lastnight (round, leaf design with lazy susan)lazy susan did not shatter, imagine that, leaving my chocolate lab covered in shards of glass. I have 6 chairs with cushions that go with the table, I want the table or glass replaced. I'm glad my two young children were not home at the time. I am on a fixed income.

My Martha Stewart glass table top shattered into a million pieces for no reason at all. No one was sitting at the table at the time. It sounded like an explosion and small pieces of glass flew all over the backyard and pool area.

I, like others, purchased a Martha Stewart Patio set, The Victoria Collection. It consisted of 5 dining chairs and round dining table, leaf-embossed glass with lazy susan just above the main table. This was purchased at K-Mart. The other day, out of a clear blue sky, the main dining area of the table explosed, leaving millions of small glass particles all over the deck. I checked for anything that may have landed on the table but found nothing. Also, the arms of the chairs have started to rust. I always take the entire set in for the winter months and did not expect this to happen. I am 72 years old, on a fixed income and wil probably not be able to replace these items. Can you help? I do have pictures of the smattered glass all over the deck. Thank you.

I had purchased a Martha Stewart Patio set that wasn't cheap and thought that it would last me a long time which I guess I was wrong. I had my neices and nephews out playing and my daughter. We were going to have a bbq but decided to order pizza instead cause it was to hot out to eat. Well Thank God cause thats when it happened. The whole glass patio table top shattered all over the place.

Thank you

Purchased a Martha Stewart Patio table and chairs set on July 1, 2008 for our shore house in Beach Haven, NJ. Stored set in shed for winter and set up again in July 2009. Table top totally shattered for no apparent reason. Called K Mart to discuss what could be done. I was given the option to call a glass repairer or purchase another glass top table that the store had for half price - $80.00 or call a Martha Stewart 800 number to complain.

My husband and I purchased the Martha Stewart round, leaf-embossed, lazy susan table set with four chairs about two years ago. Well, this week I was out buying food for a family barbecue and my daughter called me on my cell phone to tell me that we no longer had a patio table to eat on. It had exploded into millions of pieces, as I see now that so many others had. My daughter and husband heard the explosion on the deck, right outside my kitchen doors and looked out to see shattered glass everywhere. Thank God my family was not outside when it happened. I will never buy anything Martha Stewart again.

As so many others I purchased a Martha Stewart patio set (Palisades) The glass top table with the lazy suzanne and the entire glass top exploded/shattered to hundreds of pieces. What a disappointmnet that the product is deflective and replacement cost $180.00 plus shipping. Not to mention the danger if someone was sitting at the tiem at the table.

I made a purchase of a martha strewart patio set five chairs and a leaf glass round table (600.00) on august 11 2009 I was in the house I looked out side to find that my table glass was shattered all over the ground and in the cushions of the chairs I was told by a friend that i should return the set because the were told there was a problem with the glass on martha strewart patio set but I did not pay themany attention now I wish i had what can I do I can't afford to run out buying expensive patio set, I think that Martha strewart should have to replace or refund any one who have this same problem now I dont have a table to seat down to when my guest come over help

I came home Monday afternoon, August 10th and found my Martha Stewart Patio glass table had shattered into a millions of pieces. I had to get a shop vac to clean it up. I never dragged it around as someone said they did. I found this site while looking for a site to replace the table. I was amazed this has happened so often.

Our Martha Stewart Hexagon shaped leaf imprinted table shattered into thousands of pieces.

We purchased two Martha Stewart Victoria patio sets, two tables with five chairs each, We also purchased two Martha Stewart Victoria rocking chairs, three seat Sofa with cusions, Oval table and two chaise lounges. These items are all part of the Martha Stewart Victoria collection.

Last year one of the patio tables exploded. Last night the other patio table exploded. The glass explodes in such tiny bits and if we were sitting at the table when it exploded, I know we would have gotten cut. Just Saturday night we had eight people sitting around that table eating dinner.

Within the last couple years I purchased a Glass Patio Set from the Martha Stewart collection at the Kmart in Huntington Indiana at 2727 Guilford Street. I came home today to find the table completely shattered. The table has been stored inside during the winter months so I am not for sure why it shattered. I then searched to see if others had the same experience and found this site.

The glass in our Martha Stewart Melrose table shattered like many others,apparently. HOWEVER, I know exactly why it shattered. When we would move the table from one spot to another we would drag it with the umbrella still attached. Well, after a number of years of this abuse on our part, one of the lower support brackets for the umbrella broke at the weld and caused the umbrella pole to wedge against the glass and it shattered. Just wondering if this could have happeded to others?

Thank you,

I purchased a martha stewart patio set and the glass top shattered today and i would like a replacement table.It was round with a leaf pattern in it.where can I find this?

Patio Table shattered into a million pieces. Will be busy cleaning up this weekend..

Martha Stewart patio table Victory pattern shattered for no apparent reason. Just had to clean it up and now I have no table.

I purchase the Martha Stewart Victoria Collection furniture approximately 5 years ago from K-Mart. Two years after the purchase the glass top shattered and JRA Patio Furniture Company that used Martha Stewarts name was kind enough to replace the table top and just the other day it exploded yet again.

I bought a outdoor patio set not even a year old and the glass top just exploded today 1 aug 2009 and the glass kept crackling after it was already on the ground for about 15 mins. I think there should be someway to recieve a replacement table.

we bought a martha stewart patio set with leaves etched into the glass table top. I loved the set but i was trimming my dog in midday when i heard a huge crash and to my dismay the glass top shattered in to a million pieces on my patio. Now i purchased new cushions and have no table. I would like a replacement tabletop....

There is glass everywhere over my deck and I have small grandchildren that play out there everyday in the summer which it is right now, I don't know when they will be able to go out there again and don't know long it is going to take to clean all this glass up, it is literally everywhere in the smallest tiniest pieces. Needless to say that I spent over $300 on the whole set of table and chairs and am going to be unable to even use any of it for the rest of the summer.

Martha Stewart/JRA Furniture patio table glass shattered midday when no one was using it or nearby.

My Martha Stewart 6 sided glass top table just exploded inti thousands of tiny pieces. We heard this crashing noise on our deck and went outside to see the glass all over the deck. As we stood there looking at it the small pieces on the floor were still popping and cracking just like popcorn.

There was not one outside or around the table at the time, it just shattered on its own. Kmart will not give me any information on how to replace the table, and no one will tell me who the manufacturer is. I don't want a replacement for the glass because I am not sure why it shattered and don't want to take the risk that another one won't do the same thing,

Came home from a camping trip and found that the glass top on our Martha Stewart patio table had shattered and there was glass all over the chairs and deck.

> from getting hurt.

2 sections (out of 4) of my Martha Stewart outdoor bar shattered for no reason. It is not even 1 year old and was purchased at K Mart.

into a million peices. It took him hours to clean up and he went under the deck to clean up the glass also. He has a bad back and had taken the day off to relax it.

my martha stewart dining table was destroyed. i found it this way upon arriving home from dinner with my children. the glass top is in chards! i'll be sweeping this up until October. This is not the first time this has happened. It happened to the bar top as well a few years ago.

Our Martha Stewart patio table top shattered spreading glass all over our sun room the one day we planned a party. June 13,2009. Nothing was on the table, it was indoors and had been inside over the winter. It happened in early morning and nothing was dropped on it.

I have heard of numerous stories of this happening. The set was purchased at K-Mary a couple of years ago. Is there a recall and class action suit against the manufacturer?

Glass on Martha Stewart patio table shattered for no reason. Glass everywhere to be cleaned up

My Martha Stewart Picnic Table set bought at KMart in Levittown(which is now closed)shattered. Someone placed a cup down on it and it shattered. I have had the set for about 3-4 years. My neighbor sitting at the table was cut by a piece of the shattered glass. I have heard about these tables shattering but did not think the one I had was one of the ones with problems. The set is in an octagon shape that had beveled leafs in it. It was a very nice set, however, there was absolutely no reason for this to shatter the way it did. Can you assist me on how I could obtain a new table top or obtain an refund?

I purchased a Martha Stewart Patio Set (Table, 5 chairs, pads, umbrella and base). The glass table top just exploded into thousands of pieces. The set is not setting in direct heat. I purchased the table at the end of the season last fall 2008.

Martha Stewart patio table top broke spontaneously

Martha Stewart patio glass table top shattered. Glass made a huge mess and some went into our swimming pool. Big 5 sided glass.

We went out to dinner with friends, came back and our patio table had broken into millions of pieces! I had complained a few years ago about our chairs tearing from the frame. The company that handles MS things had me send in a ton of stuff a ton of times with no response. I will never be anything Martha Stewart again! What if our children were out there eating or playing which they do often? I hope good ole' Martha reads these.

July 19,2009-Literally one hour ago my family sat down to eat in our kitchen. As we bowed our heads to pray, we heard a great crashing noise on our deck. We jumped up and saw that our glass top had shattered into hundreds of pieces. AS we watched we could hear continued popping noises. I went out onto the deck and could see and hear the glass popping. I can only say that I am thankful we did not eat dinner out there as I had thought to do!! I am very saddened to see that this is not uncommon and that the defective tables are still being sold!

I have experienced the same thing, however, I have had my set for about 5 year and the carollsile exploded first in 2008, and July 17th of 2009 the cocktail table glass exploded and shattered exactly like the one in the picture I am so afraid that my patio table will be the next one to explode. I wish I had known this before purchasing because I have the couch and table 2 chairs, and a patio table and 4 more chairs my set has always been inside the house I dont understand this situtuaion it should be replaced.

My patio is covered, so the table never really receives direct sunlight, it is filtered. I do live in the desert, so it was 100 degrees out. I immediately took pictures and drove to K-mart to see if there had been some sort of recall, etc on the table or if this had happened before. They denied anything. It wasn't until I got online that I found out the truth. I will be returning to K-mart with the article I found online, I know I will probably never be financially reimbursed for this, but maybe I can spare someone else the hardship/danger.

The glass shattered on my Martha Stewart Patio table for no apparent reason today 7/18/2009.

On-line there are articles regarding this brand table w/glass top and the shattering has happened to may people over and over. The article states there is a class action suit on this. Thankfully no one was near the table which is in my swimming pool area. In reviewing how much a replacement table top would cost we found on the Martha Stewart site it retails for over $600 and was on sale for $400. The set is useless without the glass top.

my table just exploded for no reason July 4 2009 i brought it from Kmart it is Martha Stewart Patio furniture the table exploded

purchase a martha stewart patio set from k-mart and about two year later the glass top shattle. no damage just need glass top repace.

I purchased the "Melrose" Martha Stewart patio set (6 chairs and a glass top table with fern patterns) sometime between 5-10 years ago. It has been on my screened and covered patio since purchase. Three weeks ago the table top shattered with no more than 3# of items on it. I happened to be in the same store a week ago and saw they were still selling them. I have one in lay away at present. After I told a friend what happened, she told me about the shatter problem. I will show K Mart management an article about this item and cancel my lay away purchase.

I purchased a $400 Martha Stewart patio furniture set at Kmart In Holland Michigan during May of 2008. For one year, this set met my basic needs, with the table exposed to the outdoors only until October when it was moved indoors for storage due to freezing temperatures. In early July of 2009, I returned home to find the table completely shattered for no reason whatsoever. No object came in contact with the table, winds were mild, and temperatures peaked at 75 degrees. There is no acceptable reason for this table to have shattered as it did. With shards of glass covering my deck, having fallen throught the cracks in the boards to the rocks and grass below, and lots of young children's feets everywhere around, this event was highly distressing.

My Martha Steward Patio Table top shattered. No damage - just no table top.

I purchased a Martha Stewart Patio set with lazy susan. Tempered glass table top. It was only out on my patio for 3 months when the glass table top shatter into a million pieces.(Jun26,2009) I have photos. Took me days to clean up all of the broken glass. Kmart local management said the glass wasn't warrented. And when I called corporate they just gave me the number of the manufacturer who is out of business!! No offer to replace glass. No compensation. They admitted they've had complaints on this but that is all.

K-mart refused to do anything other that give us a telephone number to call, I told them I did not call a number when I gave them MY HARD EARNED MONEY... I no longer shop at K-mart and will not go back, and will NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING WITH A Martha stewart name on it.

We bought a home in 2005 with Martha Stewart patio furniture that came with the house and the chair cushions have been replace because the material was fraying. Just on July 9th of 2009 the glass tabletop just shattered out of no where. Luckily nobody was outside when it happened, but because of this, our entire screened-in patio carpet has to be replaced. It's bad enough we lost the table, but now we need to make a claim on our homeowners insurance to replace the outdoor carpet due to millions of glass particles embedded into it.

I bought the outdoor furniture at K-mart 3 years ago. Two months ago, I saw broken glass underneath the table and not one is left on the table. It broke like th windsheild glass break. I thought someone hit it, now I know why.

The patio tabletop shattered into millions of pieces. This 7-piece octaganal patio set had a tempered glass top with leave embellishments. It shattered for no reason, and not only did it break without cause, it should not have shattered if it is truly tempered.

Martha should be ashamed of herself! Didn't she learn anything while she was in jail?

Fortunately no one was sitting at the table wheh the glass top exploded into a million pieces. The lazy susan was OK.

This morning my daughter called me at work to inform me that as she walked past the patio window she noticed our approximately 3 year old Martha Stewart patio table was completely shattered. This patio is screen enclosed and under a covered lanai so it is not like the table has ever been exposed to any elements besides heat.

2008, I purchased a Martha Stewart patio set with tempered glass top with a lazy susan. No one was outside and it exploded. I contacted K-Mart and they replaced the glass table top but I am waiting for it to explode again, seeing how it is from the same company. I also purchased a lounge chair and had brought the cushions inside for the winter and this cushion is frayed and ripping all over. The quality of this set is terrible especially what I paid for it. I will never buy anything Martha Stewart again if this is the quality that she represents.

3 yrs ago i bought a martha stewart "victoria" collection outdoor furniture, table, 5 chairs, 2 rocketrs, sofa and coffee table. it sits on my covered patio. yesterday the table exploded for no reason. we were about to go on the deck for dinner. it shatterred into a million pieces. i called k mart who said this thing happens. read the info in the box the furniture came in. i said where does it say the tables explode on your website that i read before making a decision.

i said it should be ilegal to sell these tables if they explode. and you're aware of it. he said he can't do anything cause glass breaks and it's not covered. he said their is a number you can call to report this and they'll give you a number to call to get a replacement top. i said at no charge? he laughed and said...no..you have to pay. the number was 1 888 289 8616. the lady took my info and said she'd report it. i said what will you do for me? replace my table? she said no.she'll just report it. i said that don't do sh** for me..i'm mad as hell they get away with this. i would like to sit outside of the store with a sign about this practice.

We just happened to go out on our back porch with my 2yr old granddaughter when just minutes after our patio table must have just exploded. there was glass everywhere,it blew our umbrella about 10 feet from where the table was.THANK GOD we were not out there seconds before it blew SOMEONE like us or our GRANDDAUGHTER could have been seriously HURT!

Martha Stewart round dining table with lazy susan. May of 2009 table exploded. The sound was unbelievable. Glass was everywhere. I had no idea what had happened. Was in the house thought someone had broke a window. Then saw table on the patio. Glass was all over the patio, yard thousand pieces. The rest is still like new. Have many pieces, cushions and umbrella are just like new never been left out in the weather. What to do next.

This afternoon my cousins Martha Stewart table exploded sending glass all over the patio floor.we believe this is caused by the record breaking heat in south Florida today

I purchased the Martha Stewert Patio furnature from K-Mart in Hiram GA in September 2003. The set looked great on my patio for about two years then began to peel and the faberic faded on the cushions. That was tolerable since the set was still usable, until the glass on the table exploded and landed all over my patio in Oct 2008. Know i'm stuck with four chairs and no glass on my table. Usless

My daughter in law went to sit down at the glass table and it exploded into a million pieces. Luckily no one was hurt.

Our Martha Stewart Patio glass top table exploded 7/4/09 during the day. Glass was every place and had to be cleaned up all over our deck and now we have to replace the glass or get a new table. We understand that this has happened to others with the SAME patio tables. We purchased this at KMART which is no longer on open in our area.

Last year we purchased a Martha Stewart Collection patio set. We noticed that the glass top was starting to bow a bit, but we did not think too much of it. This morning, the glass top shattered into a millions pieces for no apparent reason. I was standing next to it after I wiped it down with a moist towel and getting ready for company. Unfortunately, we did not buy the extra warranty so we are basically told we are screwed. Now we are learning this product is defective and there are many consumer complaints. Just add us to the list. You would think someone of Martha Stewart's caliber would make good for selling a defective product, but I guess that's how she makes millions. My advice -BOYCOTT ALL OF MARTHA STEWART PRODUCTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Luckily no one was around the table when this happened. My husband did cut his foot while attempting to clean up the glass. There was no glass left on the table. There are now glass chards in the fabric cushions, which makes them unusable.

Kmart referred my to the phone number which is on the tag for the furniture. It is a "sears" number.
I was informed that the company who made the furniture is out of business and there is no recourse for compensation.
I bought the set, because I have always felt Martha Stewart stood for quality.

I am highly disappointed.

Our Martha Stewart rectangular glass table top shattered. We didn't really understand why. We woke up one morning with our glass top shattered in a million small pieces all over our deck. I have taken pictures of the damage.

My Martha Stewart Victoria Gardens table exploded last night while we were sitting outside enjoying the evening with the dog next to us. No one was hurt. Only the lazy susan and the rim were left standing. I took pictures because I couldn't believe it. It's in a million pieces and it kept popping as we were cleaning up.

Have had the furniture for several years. Has been inside in sunroom the whole time. Was in next room, no one at the table and suddenly heard loud sound. Table had shattered into thousands of pieces. Lazy susan and table intact. Went online to see about replacement only to find out that the company new of this problem for a long time. Just grateful my grandbaby was not out there. Very scary how this happens and no one has made a recall. Thanks, Martha Stewart company and KMart for putting the concern of your customers at the bottom of your list.

I purchased a lovely Martha Stewart patio set from Kmart two years ago. I came home from work one night and to my shock the glass had exploded and shattered. There was no bad storm or anything to have caused the table to be damaged, so I believe the glass has a design flaw. The table is warranted, but not the glass. Cost to replace the glass is $400. Needless to say, I was disappointed as I really enjoyed the furniture and overall have been pleased with its design, structure, materials, etc.minus the table glass.

I have several credit cards with Chase, and during the last two years received and agreed to promotional offers of an APR of 3.99% until paid. My payments were 2% of the unpaid balance as they had always been on the cards. In June 2009 Chase sent me a notice on 4 cards with the 3.99% balance that the min payment was going from 2% to 5%. the total balance on these cards is about $50,000, meaning the min payment will go from about $1,000 to $2,500. Chase offered no opt outs such as canceling the card to keep the current terms. I think that this practice of Chase's is in violation of Truth in Lending Laws, as they are changing the basic terms on low interest accounts, and not on regular accounts, in order to force customers to switch to higher interest rate accounts.

Martha Stewart patio set. Glass top table exploded. Glass all over. I googled Martha Stewart patio furniture and several articles came up with the same problem. There is a class action law suite pending. I have had nothing but problems with this set since I purchased it.

I purchased a Martha Stewart patio set from Kmart 3 years ago. This was a gently & seldom used set. I was inside at the time when I heard a loud crash & ran outside to find the glass tabletop had smashed into a million pieces. The table frame & lazy susan are completely intact.

As we where sitting at the table of our Martha Steward Table it shattered right in front of our eyes. We had glass everywhere. We had splinters of glass all over our legs and feet because we where all wearing shorts. The children where sitting on the floor and where covered with shattered glass, the 2 babies had small glass cuts all over them it was terrible. The kids crying the babies screaming. We had to bandage all of the kids for there cuts and had a hard time getting the splinter glass out of the babies hair, one of the children had gotten a piece of glass in the corner of her eye, if we hadnt gotten it out right away, serious damage could have be occured, as it was she had a scatch on her.

Purchased a Martha Stewart Victorian Patio tempered glass top table (dining) and 5 chairs. Glass top without any reason shattered into a thousand little pieces.

I just got home and went to go out on my patio where I enjoy spending my evenings at my patio table. I opened my back door and found that my Martha Stewart patio table top had shattered into a million pieces. I loved my table which makes me very sad that I cant go out there and sit and also, it made a huge mess that is going to take a long time to get all the pieces out of between my stones on the patio. I will not be able to let my child go out there or myself for that matter without shoes for a long time. I wish I had known that these table tops have a history of shattering like that.

A Martha Stewart 60" xegagonal glass table top shattered million of little pieces while I was eating dinner with my family on Wednesday June 24, 2009. Our dinner ended up all over our deck, we had to clean it all up. Very unsafe table top!

Purchased the octogonal Martha Stewart Patio set with the 6 chairs and umbrella from Kmart. The table shattered into a million splinter pieces. Took us two hours to clean up. Complained to Kmart who referred us back to Martha Stewart who refused to do anything for us. Last night the umbrella broke. This is the worst product we've ever purchased.

I came home from work to find the Leaf Embossed glass table top of my Martha Stewart Everyday Garden Victoria Collection dining table shattered. There was no evidence of anyone or anything having caused it to shatter. The lazy susan remained intact. The set was purchased in June 2005. Both KMART & JRA Furniture advised that the glass for this table is not covered under warranty. However, it is quite obvious to me that the glass was defective and is the cause of the spontaneous shattering.

A Martha Stewart round glass table top shattered while my wifw and I were eating dinner. I ended up with cuts (around 40) all over my legs, I was wearing shorts. Our dinner ended up all over our porch, we had to clean it all up. Very unsafe table top!

My Class top to my patio table which is set up on my back Screened in Patio exploded this morning 06/23/09 at approx. 0715am and glass shattered everywhere. There was not even anyone in our sun room and there was nothing on the table at the time it happened. I paid alot of money for this table and did not expect this type of issue to occur. I have lots of pictures I took of this situation and will share them with anyone.Needless to say I have gotten a few glass cuts trying to clean this up.

came home from work and the table top to my martha stewart table purchased at k mart had exploded when the top exploded the glass put gashes in the webbing of 2 chairs. i did go into the store to complain, they said there was nothing they could do. i did email a complaint to the k mart customer service. they also said there was nothing they could do. how can a company know there is a problem / design flaw and do nothing about it? obviously there is a problem, table tops exploding for no reason to this many people and the company has no responsibility for a defective product? i purchased my set thinking i would have it for a number of years. 5 years later i have to replace it. i will never buy another item with martha stewart's name on it. nor will i ever shop at k mart or sears again. where is the recall on a defective product?

Our Martha Stewart Patio set table top exploded and cut my finger down to the tendon. I needed 14 sutures to stich my my closed. That not counting all the other cut that did not required sutures.

Patio table purchased at Kmart which was a Martha Stewart hex 54 in temperted glass. Top explored some time around June 14 to June 16. No one was at the residents. Since no one was home no physical damage which I am glad it happened while we were out of town.

Martha Steward everyday Garden glass top table shattered into a million pieces on our pool deck. Luckily no glass went into the pool. No one was home and there was no unusual weather that day.

I paid 317.99 after a $70 off sale. I cant let the kids or pets out because of all the glass on the deck that I can'y get up.

I have a martha stuart patio table and chair set about 6 years ago. It exploded and fortunately our family was not sitting at the table and no one was hurt.

On Sunday, June 14,2009 while hosting a cookout, my Martha Stewart glass-top table suddenly shattered into a million pieces. There was absolutely nothing touching the table top. There were approximately 30 people at this cookout; several small children. Luckily, no one was close enough to be harmed by the shattering of the glass. We were fortunate! As a matter of fact, the there was an open grill which actually had food cooking on it which could have been affected by the shattering glass.

I bought the Martha Stewart Patio table and coffee table and chairs. My patio table glass broke and now I am scared about the coffee table after reading other reports. I only found out that other people had the same problems when I was searching for some sort of replacement table top. Now I guess I have to find some sort of replacement for my coffee table and should probably put away from people, in case it decides to explode. My chairs have also peeled and the cushions are all torn. The cushions have always been stored inside during the winter months. Not a quality set at all for such an expensive price.

Bought a Martha Stewart glass patio table. Got home today, and walked out back. The glass had shattered in millions of pieces. The weird thing, was it sounded like rice crispies, just popping. I stood and watched for about 10 minutes, and the glass would pop up in the air about an inch, or jump about 2 inches. Just like popcorn. It was amazing...but definately a bad situation. I've never seen anything like it!! However, that doesn't change the fact that we have to find a way to get all of that glass up, and out of the grass, where our pets walk. The kids thankfully can't get under the deck, but we'll have to wear shoes on the back porch for a long time to come.

On June 17th at 6:00 am, my wife was about to the dog out before going to work. She noticed that the door to the patio was being blocked by the umbrella from the patio furniture. She went out the front door to get to the backyard to move the umbrella and noticed that the table top was shattered into a million pieces all over the deck!

I am extremely heated about this! We followed the instructions about lowering the umbrella when not in use and the umbrella was retracted and tied with a string! I just bought the table from Kmart on Wednesday, June 10, 2009 in preparation for my daughters high school graduation party.

I have little children and pets that go out on the deck everyday but I'm afraid that one of them will get cut from the glass shavings that I was unable to see when cleaning up this mess. The glass has basically rendered my deck off limits to my kids. I don't know what I'd do if one of my kids receive any cuts on their hands or feet from this piece of trash table collection.

We were sitting on the other side of the patio when my Martha Stewart rectangle table shattered. After the initial shock we got out the shock vac. We are still finding pieces several days later. I purchased approx. 15 pieces of Martha Stewart patio furniture less than a year ago and the swing continues to fall apart, the loungers and tables are rusting and fading fast. Can't use a table without glass, rust all over my newly placed patio pavers. Liability associated with other tables swing for the fear of someone getting hurt.

No one was even near the glass-topped Olympia style bar made by Martha Steward brand and sold at Kmart when it absolutely exposed into thousands of little pieces! (good thing that no one was near!!!) It took hours to clean up the shards on the deck and the patio below the deck. Shop vac and all, we are not going to be barefoot on these surfaces for a very long time.

Research tells us that no one is doing anything about this and that Kmart will not do anything but give owners a phone number to call to purchase replacements. Only challenge is, though....people that have paid for the replacements are experiencing the same thing all over again. The glass simply explodes. DANGEROUS!!!!! (Shame on you, Martha, and shame on you Kmart)

I was getting my martha stewart patio furniture out, I was under the table putting in my umbrella and the table shattered in millions of pieces on top of me...

Purchased a Martha Stewart octagonal, tempered glass top table with 6 chairs at K-Mart. The table was on a covered lanai. In February the table top shattered into thousands of pieces. When I contacted K-Mart I was told that the table wasn't covered under warranty.

Purchased a Martha Stewart glass patio table from K-Mart. The glass shattered completely on its own. No trauma or stress; just spontaneously, burst.

I am only writing to add my name to the list of thousands who have had a similar problem with Marth Stewart patio table glass tops exploding into million is pieces for no apparent reason.

I had a set from K-Mart in Valley Steam, on Long Island, in NY. It was purchased in May, a few months later it shattered for no apparent reason; on a clear moderate temp. day, with no one in area. I looked out the window to find the talbletop in a zillion pieces on the patio. I called K-Mart and got no assistance. I demanded a phone number for the manufacturer. I screamed cried and threatened, when they told me there was nothing they could do. I persisted and the woman finally agreed to send me, free of charge a replacement glass. It was shipped to my home directly at no charge.

Needless to say, I was quite satisfied, but two years later, the same thing happened. At that point, I threw the garbage out.

I will be interesed to know if they will be a class action lawsuit. There are certainly enough complaints to warrant one. I am now in the process of trying to find a replacement top for my Better Homes and Gardens glass patio table, purchased in Walmart in Cary, NC. I purchased this set in Aug. '08, and the same thing happened to this tabletop. I think there is more happening here than meets the eye. The cost to replace a glass patio table top is usually more than the cost to just buy another set. Most manufacturers don't sell replacement glass, nor do they sell the table without the chairs.

Consumers are being ripped off at an astonishing pace with regard to outdoor furniture, and have little, if any recourse to the store where the item was purchased, or to the manufacturer of the item. It is just despicable that the consumer has no remedy for this nonsense. They just keep figuring we'll just go buy another rather than replace the glass, etc. Something should be done to protect the consumer from such underhanded practices.

Re: Martha Stewart Patio Set, table is 54" diameter. We had a cookout last week and the table appeared fine. We were outside today and the table top was shattered into many thousands of pieces. Also, the chairs are peeling and getting rusted. We have the furniture outside all summer but store in a shed in the winter.

We purchased a Martha Stewart patio set from K-mart. Recently, the round table top just exploded and glass shattered into lots of pieces. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

I was sitting at my patio table two nights ago and had just walked in the house when I heard a noise like a gunshot or explosion. I looked outside and saw the glass top of my patio table on the ground in a million pieces popping and cracking. My first thought was that someone had shot a bb gun into it, but when I went online, I found out how common this is for this brand of table top. It's a Martha Stewart table, Montecito collection. I contacted K-marts 800 customer service number, but they are taking no responsibility, and referred me to the manufacturer JRA furniture, who is I believe, out of business.

Table top glass shattered for no apparent reason. Purchased 4 years ago.

I brought it out last week and noticed there is rust all over the set, so bad that the rust has started to eat away at the metal. I contacted K-mart and was told that the set only had a one year guarantee and there was nothing they could do. I find this totally unexceptable. I paid a lot of money for the set and don't expect to have to replace it in only 2 years.

I was sitting outside and for no reason whatsoever, our patio glass tabletop exploded. The lazy Susan was not harmed, but the table just shattered into a million pieces. There was nothing on the table and the weather was perfect. I am so glad our child or anyone else was not seated there at the time. We have had this table for about 14 months. I plan to take this complaint further.

Heard glass shatter in the middle of the night. Didn't think to go check; however, when we went downstairs to let the dog out in the morning, the umbrella was blocking the sliding door. Once outside, we couldn't believe our eyes, the M.S. Melrose patio dining table was what the noise was. The table had completely shattered for no reason.

Getting a replacement or refund has been futile and suggested "just to get another set". Table top has been near impossible to replace and we are an outdoor family for dinners, bbq's etc. Appreciate any help you could render.

Today, as I was searching the internet, looking for a place to get a replacement, I found numerous complaints describing exactly the same scenario that we had experienced. I had considered contacting the manufacturer of the table, but after reading all that I have today, I'm considering otherwise, simply because I don't want another defective piece. I did however end up with glass in my feet a few times.

3 yrs. ago I bought a 3 pc. Martha Stewart Victoria bar set with glass top. Last spring the glass shattered into a million pcs. Nothing happened to cause this.

Purchased a patio set, which included several pieces...hexagon table, six chairs, table umbrella, 2 lounge chairs. Enjoyed it very much for several years, until one morning we woke up and noticed out on the deck that the glass on the table had completely shattered and was all over the deck floor.

It never occurred to us that it was a flaw in the product, we just assumed it was a fluke. We looked around for a dead bird that might have flown into it, a rock that might have been thrown, etc etc, but found NO evidence of anything that would have caused this to happen. Nothing was blown over,so there was no evidence of a strong wind.

We were quoted a price of $400 to replace the glass so we never did it. Tonight I was looking up the set, trying to replace a missing part of the umbrella, so that I could use it. I googled "Martha Stewart patio furniture/KMart, only to find several articles about spontaneously shattering glass on these tables! I can't believe it! I hope there is some reimbursement that can be obtained, though it doesn't sound likely. The rest of my set is in decent shape, It's too bad that I can't use it, since I no longer have a usable table.

I returned form work, walked out back on my deck and discovered that the lazy susan on my glass top patio furnatuer had shattered. I got on the internet to look up Martha Stewart products to attempt to order a replacement glass and discovered that there were several other people filing complaints pertaining to the same experience. Apparently, this company is selling a bad set of goods. I have had my patio furniture for over five years but still, I should not have had this happen for no reason.

I guess the best thing, was no one was hurt.

Sometime overnight our Martha Stewart patio table shattered into countless pieces. The Lazy Susan was intact but I now have a 5 piece chair set with cushions and a virtually see-through table top. Had it for at least three years and there was nice, warm weather. Nothing was on the table and no explanation how this could've happened---until I read a complaint forum on Martha Stewarts products. Apparently there are a LOT of exploding tables without any seemingly cause.

I also purchased a Martha Stewart table ,chairs, cofee table ,rockers and swing. The table also shattered on us. The material for the cushions dried out and tore and I have been with out the canopy to my swing for a couple years because it could not stand the weather and tore.I stored my cushions in a box when not using them and in the winter put everything away. The sey also started rusting right away. I replaced my table with another I wish I had not after reading all the compliants.

I purchased two sets of Victoria (5 dining chairs w/cushions, plus 54" tables), umbrellas & stands. without warning the glass shattered on one table, I am waiting for the other glass to shatter. I need someone to contact me about replacement glass. I understand this has happened to numerous customers. Is Martha aware of this? This is a serious problem!

The Martha Stewart patio table top shattered for no reason it exploded into a thousand pieces I was setting in another chair reading. I was looking for a replacement top when I saw all of the other people with the same issue. I am in the same boat with a patio set that is of no use to me I paid 400.00 for it 2 years ago. It took 6 hours to clean up the mess and we are still afraid to go on the patio with out any shoes.

We purchased a Matha Stewart patio set from K Mart about 4 years agao and yesterday without anyone being near the table, it shattered into pieces!

The glass top on my Martha Steward patio table shattered. Luckily I was standing by the kitchen door when it happened. It was not a hot day nor real cold and do not know why it shattered into so many pieces.

I purchased a Martha Stewart Victorian Collection several years ago only to have the glass on the table shatter for absolutely no reason. The cushions wore out in less than one year even though we brought them into the basement after the fall was over. I have replaced the table as just the glass was more than buyinbg a new table only to have it shatter again the next summer. Absolutely furious as Kmart would not refund or exchange..I have had to purchase 2 tables and six cushionsm to a tune of over $1,100 dollars..

I bought a Martha Stewart Patio table with lazy Susan, five chairs with cushions, two rockers with cushions, and a triple cushion outdoor sofa with coffee table. Today without anything touching it, the patio table made a loud pop and shattered into thousands of pieces. I spent quite a lot of money on this patio set. Company is arriving from out of state the day after tomorrow and now we have no table to sit at outside. After reading all of the other stories...I can see that neither Martha Stewart nor Kmart is going to stand behind their products nor take any steps to ensure their customers satisfaction.

According to Kmart, the Table frame was coverd under a 5 year warranty but the class is not covered at all. If there is anything we can do, it seems that Kmart and Martha Stewart are taking this issue very litely when people could be getting hurt. why didn't those tables get recalled when they all those tables explode the way it did.

I have a Martha Stewart outdoor pation set. It had a glass top with a lazy susan and I still have the 5 chairs.

The glass top shattered into a million pieces and after trying to move the frame of the table around to clean up the glass the frame has collasped.

I went out about 1:10PM in the afternoon to water plants and the talbe was fine. When my husband and I went out on the deck about 4:00PM there was shattered glass every where. We started looking to see if something had struck the glass to cause this but did not find anything.

After cleaning up the glass for 4 hours the best we could, I got online to see if I could find out some informaton about what may have happened and have discovered that others have had this same issue.

I just had a deck built to actually accomodate this patio set as our old deck was very small.

I am so upset!

Is there anything I can do to see about getting it replaced?

I have some pictures.

We purchased the Martha Stewart "Bloomington" patio set in April of 2008 at our local K Mart. Almost one month to the day later, under pleasant, late spring conditions, I heard a loud "pop" coming from outside. When I went to investigate, I found our patio table had shattered into a million pieces spraying glass onto our patio and into the grass. Thankfully, my children were not outside at the time. Panicked, b/c we were having company for a picnic that day, we quickly purchased another identical table. We didn't even think to look for the receipt to request a replacement free of charge. We, again, spent $130.

Today, almost one year to the date after replacing the table, the same exact thing happened to our second table! Again, pleasant weather and thankfully, the kids had just gone indoors. I have contacted the store that we purchased the table from and am awaiting direction from the store manager. I am infuriated, to say the least, that we have now spent $260 dollars on 2 tables and now are left with nothing but a pile of glass and very little hope that Martha Stewart corp will stand by their product. If there's ever a suit, count us in!!!!

We bought a patio set from the Martha Stewart Furniture Collection from KMart a few years ago. Everything was fine until a few weeks ago, the glass covering on the table exploded. We weren't sure why it happened. It was sitting upright on our patio and all of a sudden the sound of glass echoed from outside. It was the scariest thing ever. We decided to look online for a replacement piece, and found a site where customers also complained about the collection from Martha Stewart. It's mind-boggling to hear thousands of other customers experience what we just experienced. Why are these pieces still being sold???

Just on the K-Mart web site looking for a replacement for my Martha Stewart patio table that exploded into 1000's of pieces when I came across this website. I thought it was a freak accident and was going to replace with another Martha Stewart product but not anymore. AMAZING. I bought mine about 7 or 8 yrs ago and I feel lucky it lasted so long. Obviously they know they are selling crap or they would stand behind their product.

As my daughters and I were eating dinner outside this evening out of no where our table exploded. The heaviest thing we had on the table was a hamburger. This table is 3 weeks old!

Like so many of the other people who have complained about the Martha Stewart patio furniture, I was inside and heard a loud pop from the deck area and found thousands of little glass pieces scattered around the deck and the frame of the Melrose bar set had bent slightly. It had been assembled correctly and was situated in a protected area, under a gazebo, so nothing fell on it. Luckily no one was out there when it happened.

I took the top to a glass shop to see if I could get a piece of glass made and they would not recommend using a damaged frame as any glass would break. I believe there is a defect in the manufacturing and there should be some recourse.

Purchased a Martha Stewart Bar Set last summer. After about a week of having it home one of the glass sections of the table top shattered for no reason what so ever. We woke up the following morning to shattered glass all over our deck!

I purchased a Martha Stewart patio set second hand from a friend about one year ago and a few nights ago I was in my home and heard a loud "pop" outside. I went to my window and looked outside, but it was dark and I couldn't really see anything, so I thought it must be something at my neighbors house and went to bed. The next day my husband called me out to our deck where I saw that our table had shattered into a thousand pcs. We looked at the area and found that nothing had fallen on the table and it was still sitting in the same place as last night. I called my Daughter-in-law to tell her about this and she started searching the net and found this website and hundreds of other victims like me.

It is unexceptable to me that this can happen to so many people and nothing can be done. What really slaps you in the face is the fact that these tables are still being sold! I think we should boycott the retailers, as well as all other Martha Stewart products by the masses. It's not about the money for me, it's about the principal of the matter.

This is an update to my previous complaint. I purchased the Martha Stewart Olympia set from Kmart. This spring we had one of the four panels, of our bar set, shatter as well into many little pieces. I called for a replacement and gladly paid the cost plus shipping. Well the first was damaged during shimpment, the second was the wrong panel side (comes in two sections with two glass sections each) and the third yesterday was also damaged in shipment and never reached my house.

I sent an email this morning and just received an email back from their supervisor Tracy that they have gone over and above and will be crediting my card and will not be shipping another panel out. I requested to just pick up the new table right at Kmart. Wouldn't that have made sense, since you already paid for three panels to be sent?

Now please tell me what I am to do with this useless piece of Martha Stewart Furniture? Shame on you Martha, I doubt you even use your own products! And shame on you Supervisor Tracy for not being polite enough to start your emails with even a hello or ending with a thank you! I guess that's the PRIDE of the USA!

I bought a Martha Stewart bar table and when inserting an umbrella the top burst into 1000's of peices. Csmall cuts on my leg

I have a patio table and chairs set that seats 6 people. I have had this set for approximately 4 years. On May 9, 2009, I was in my house when I heard a horrible sound from my deck. I went to investigate and found that my 6ft X 4 ft glass table top had exploded. There was nothing to indicate that anything had fallen on top of the table, it was a mild comfortable day. Luckily, I had just brought my dogs into the house about 5 minutes before this happened. Had I not brought them in, one or more of them could have been seriously injured due to the flying glass.

My Martha Stewart Patio table exploded and sent glass everywhere. It was a real mess to clean up.

Tonight the glass on my Martha Stewart patio table (which was purchased at KMart in Riverside California in 2008) exploded into thousands of pieces.

I am one among many of consumers who purchased an exploding Martha Stewart patio table from KMart. I am familiar with the run around and finger pointing that others have expressed as well. I am only registering this complaint so that any resolution comes of this matter,my name can be counted among those who have been affected. The set I purchased has otherwise held up well over the four years and is still attractive.

I would have much preferred that KMart or Martha Stewart would have enough pride in their brand or enough conscience to stand behind their products so that could continue to enjoy the set. As it is, the replacement cost of the glass is prohibitive. I will end up buying replacement table and you can be sure it won't be from Kmart and it won't be a Martha Stewart brand.

We purchased the Santa Barbara Dining set in 2004 and the table shattered in late 2008. I just ran across this website when searching the internet for a replacement table and wanted to voice my experience. My daughter and her friend were standing by the table when I heard a popping sound and the shattered pieces began to pile up.

The consequences have been that we have 6 great cushioned chairs and I can't find a table to match. We are now faced with purchasing a new set. Thanks Kmart and Martha Stewart. I know where I am not going to go and buy anymore patio furniture.

Glass Patio Table top shattered into a pile of small sharp crystals for no reason 21 May 2009. At least 4 years old. We just spent a lot of effort sanding the rusted chair arms and repainting them. And we spent over $350 for 7 new cushions.

The table top of our Martha Stewart Patio Bar just popped and shattered without weather or other related sources. The bar had a cover on it and the glass all fell under into the deck and underneath it.

I purchased a Glass Top Martha Stewart Patio Table with chairs several years ago and the table spontaneously shattered for no reason on Friday May 8, 2009

My husband walked out of our garage to a very loud bang and turned around to the decking of our pool and found our Martha Stewart Living Victorian Glass Top Table shattered into a million pieces. We are now wondering how much of this charred glass is in the bottom of our pool creating a tear in a very expensive liner. What are our options at getting a replacement or restitution of some sort?

Well 2 days +- I received the new table top. During those two days my husband and I went out and purchased a new patio set (from somewhere else). He just this weekend went to replace the new section (there are two sides)and wouldn't you know they sent the wrong side. Emailed them right away Sunday, no reply. Emailed Tracy (contact #2, they need pictures of their mistake to rectify the situation on their end. I believe that is also called "we don't believe you". Well, I'm waiting now to see what happens, do I receive my table top in one piece?. Who knows. I remember after purchasing the set, reading all the complaints of the glass tops shattering thinking this won't happen to us. Well it did and I really hope that the other pieces don't shatter as well. I'm shocked that the company is allowed to keep producing the devective glass tops. I would not reccomend purchasing a set with this company. Do your research and shop elsewhere, I should have.

Tonight the glass on my Martha Stewart patio table (which was purchased at KMart in Tucson, Arizona) exploded into thousands of pieces.

I came home today to find that my glass table top had shattered into a million little pieces. I had bought the entire set, couch, rockers, coffee table, table, umbrella, chairs and lounge chair and now I cannot locate another glass table top with the leaf design anywhere. I would never spend the money that I spent on that entire set again with Martha Stewart. Shame on her for selling crap and not backing it!

I have had my Martha Stewart Patio Furniture from K-Mart for several years, to come home to find the glass top of the table shattered everywhere. I was glad that my 1-yr old granddaughter was not home at that time and hopefully will never find a piece of that glass to get hurt on. I pride myself in covering this table and chairs every winter season so it stays nice. I have been pricing glass for the table which is 3 to 4 times more than a new table, but will not match my set. I was very disappointed.

I purchased a Martha Stewart 6 chair, glasstop patio table set from Kmart several years ago, and today I looked outside onto my deck and noticed the glass table had shattered into a thousand pieces. I had heard of this happening recently, but I thought I was one of the lucky ones it didn't happen to. Guess Not.

Tempered glass round top on "Martha Stewart" patio dining table spontaneously shattered. Glass everywhere. Wife heard it from adjacent room. None was around, and nothing was on the table. Purchased summer 2000. Now have to but a new table that hopefully matches the chairs from the same set. Just spent $140.00 and 14 hours (so far)on new fabric for cushions, so have to keep chairs.

Purchased Martha Stewart Patio set in 2007. One year later, the glass shattered into a million tiny pieces. Thankfully no one was near the set, but it took hours to clean up the glass. I have a table without a top now. I can't afford to buy a new table this summer. I'm still finding tiny pieces of glass and have to stay outside with my dogs to make sure they don't play in the area of where the table was when it shattererd.

I purchased a glass top patio set at Kmart designed by Martha Stewart. On Sunday, May 10th, we returned home to find the glass top shattered in small pieces. Further, we have dealt iwht the rusting of the furniture for the past three years. The shattered glass was the last straw. It is close to summer and we do not have a patio set to sit on and can't currently afford one.

We bought a Martha Stewart Melrose gazebo last summer and at the end of the summer we washed it off dryed it and boxed it up for the winter. Took it out last week to put it up and the top just kept on riping apart. It was as if it dry rotted over the winter. I would just like to get or buy a new top but they said I would have to buy the whole gazebo just for the top 400.00. This is not going to happen so if you could please help. I thank you

I came home late this morning to find the glass top in a million pieces. Add me to the list.

Our Martha Stewart Outdoor GLASS Table exploded into sharp pieces all over our deck for no reason at all.

We purchased a Martha Stewart patio set with a glass tabletop from KMart with six cushioned chairs and an umbrella. On April 28, 2009, the glass tabletop spontaneously shattered into thousands of pieces all over our deck. Fortunately, our two small children were not outside at the time.

We had no idea that the tabletops had this potential. If we had, we never would have purchased one.

I could not believe this and called Kmart to see about replacement top but no one ever got back with me and I got busy and never followed thru until now when I wanted to look myself for a replacement top and was shocked when I looked online and found that I was not alone this seems to have been a common problem. I have a beautiful frame with the lazy susan and no table. Was there a solution for this problem are do all of us people have to start over to get matching piecss? Did a recall go out for this set? If so what can I do?

I can't affor another set and thankfully my children or anyone else was on the deck when this happened not to mention the mess we had to deal with and we are still finding glass from this in our deck. I lost my job due to economy and can't get another set and replacement parts are so expensive.

I purchased the Martha Stewart Victorian Patio Set w/lazy susan and umbrella with 5 mathching cushioned chairs we also purchased the mathching covered swing for our deck at a cost of over %50000 for all of the set. It is beautiful I was so proud of it. I got this for my birtday/mothers day gift in May. Upon arriving home from work in July I found my table shattered in a million little pieces the lazy susan still intact. I could not believe this and called Kmart to see about replacement top but no one ever got back with me and I got busy and never followed thru until now when I wanted to look myself for a replacement top and was shocked when I looked online and found that I was not alone this seems to have been a common problem.

Several years ago we purchased a Martha Stewart Patio Set. 5/11/09 I heard a large crash, when I went to see what it was, I found the glass had exploded into pieces all over out deck.

I purchased a Martha Stewart Patio Furniture (Glass Table w/6 chairs) that began to rust within 1 year of its purchase and now out of the blue the glass on the table exploded and shattered into a million pieces.

We bought a large patio set with a glass table top, 6 chairs and an umbrella. The glass top shattered in a million pieces within months for no reason. It sounded like an explosion! We had a new top shipped to us (over $100 at our cost) which was extremely difficult to install. Within 6 months, a tree branch fell off during a storm and it shattered again in a million pieces. I'm still finding them two years later. We put a plywood board on top and although it works, I feel cheated. And it sounds like the glass manufacturer they used should have been sued and everyone given a new top.

Martha Stewart 5ft round Pacific Palisades glass patio table. Glass top shattered on first day used. 5/10/2009.

I came home on evening to find the entire glass table shattered into pieces on my deck. Luckily no one was home and no one got hurt. I'm out the $450 plus dollars that I paid for the set. I have no way of replacing the set. I cannot have the kids out on the deck because we still seem to be finding glass everywhere.

Our Martha Stewart table set has weathered outside very well overall. However, we also experienced the shattering table glass that renders our set useless. While exploring replacement opps it appears that the glass was factory installed and no way to insert a new top.

We purchased a round glass top patio set costing over $700.00 from K-mart and less than one year later the glass top shattered into thousands of pieces. Luckily no one was home at the time, as they could have been seriously injured. We are still finding shards of glass nearly six months later.

I have had two patio tables sponaniously shatter.

Our Martha Stewart table recently shattered when my husband moved it only slightly on our patio this spring. Thousands of tiny pieces of glass everywhere. Fortunately, no one was seated there and my husband was unhurt. Oddly, the pile of glass continued to snap, crackle, and pop even after it had shattered and it continued after it had been swept up and put into a box. The crackling sounds continued for over two hours afterward. Something was very wrong with that glass. I was looking for a replacement online and found all of these consumer complaints. I do hope that some class action suit or other response will be formed in response. No one should put people in harm's way like this.

Purchased a Martha Stewart Amelia Patio set last March..May 7, 2009.. Woke up to a shattered glass table top! The weather has been cool.. No high winds, some rain. Why would glass shatter out of nothing? Luckily no one was hurt, but we have a mess by our pool area to clean. and we have 6 chairs, umbrella without a table top.!

My Marth Stewart glass top table shattered without warning.

On the morning of 4.29.09 I found the glass top table from the Martha Stewart collection from K-Mart shattered on the back enclosed porch. Fortunately it happened while no one was sitting at the table. I took photos of the scene and have since determined that there have been numerous similiar events.

This gazebo is poorly made for it to cost so much money. I paid $450 for it and it tore the first season. I am finding all sorts of complaints about the patio furniture that I almost vought with it but now am so glad that I didn't. I am however concearned about whether or not the glass in the two shelves inside of the gazebo will shater. Why are they allowed to sell these products if there are so many complaints against them?

Had a patio set round table with middle that spins. Had it for 1 season. Woke up one morning in the late spring / summer and the whole glass table was shattered in a million pieces all over our deck. Never again will I buy anything Martha Stewarts name on it.

I came home from work to find out my patio table glass top shattered in a millions pieces. This table from Martha Stewart was bought at Kmart .

on april 26, 2009 at about 2:30 pm our martha stewart round glass top patio table just burst and tiny pieces of glass just fell to the ground all over our screened in porch. we had breakfast and lunch ourside that day as it was beautiful, warm and sunny and we were enjoying the outside. it was after lunch and i had cleared and wiped off the table and walked out onto the deck when i heard a sound like a small explosion and glass falling. my small cocker spaniel was laying on the floor in the screened in patio and she was so upset and shaking when i got to her. she was not hurt just freightened, as i was, i could not figure out what had happened. nothing was on the table and thankfully we were not sitting there as we normally do enjoying the outdoors.

we have a pond in our backyard so when the weather is nice we are usually on the screened in porch. my husband was leaving for europe on a business trip at 4:30 so we had a short window of time to try to clean up the mess. we could not start right away as the glass continues to crackle for a while after it shattered....it sounded like a hugh bowl of rice krispies.....amplified of course. we had a trash can filled with all of the glass and my husband used the shop vac several times to get up the tiny shards of glass. he then had to leave to catch his flight. i continued to vacuum as you could see tiny shards of glass all through my outdoor carpet. as i leaned down to get a piece of glass i touched one of the chairs and several tiny pieces of glass cut my left hand. just tiny cuts that just burned almost like a brush burn, but it alerted me that tiny shards i could not see were everywhere.

i took all of the chairs outside the porch and shook the cushions and have tried to remove as much glass by shaking and vacuuming. i have vacuumed over and over and am still finding glass in the indoor outdoor carpeting. i am heading out again with another sweeper to try again. i am hopeful we can get it all out and not have to replace the carpeting. i also am hopeful the manufacturer will correct this problem so unsuspecting people do not have to go through cleaning up such a hugh mess and possibly being hurt when it happens or in the process of cleanup.

also, as i took the glass out to the trash i doubled bagged it and put it in my trash can....it was so heavy the wheel to my trash can broke off. i guess the shattering glass is the least of their concerns....people can really get hurt cleaning up the problem. we now are left without an outdoor screened in porch set and had no intentions of purchasing another for a few years. well that is our story, hopefully this problem can be fixed.

I purchased a Martha Stewart Patio set from K'Mart couple of years ago a few days ago I took the set outside and the round glass table top chatteded in a million pieces. It took me hours to pick up the pieces especially those which landed on the lawn and in a tree bed with lava stones next to the patio. Now I am stuck with five chairs, an umbrella and a useless table. These table tops are unsafe and although consumers filed several complains, they are still being sold. It's a shame Martha Stewart acknowledges this unsafe product. Any suggestions?

glass top table expolded for no reason!

I purchased one of the Martha Stewart line of patio sets back in 2004 used it one full season, brought it back out to use in the spring of 2005 and for no apparent reason the glass on the table just shatters while I'm trying to install the umbrella top.

Having a patio party the next day, I called numerous Kmart retailers in my area to see if they would replace the defective product until I found a sympathetic manager willing to handle the replacement. Most offered no solution other than to purchase a new one. Ironically, as I'm looking for new parts from recent storm damage, the replacement table was lifted and blown 30 feet off our patio, landed on a cement patio face down and never cracked.

I purchased a Martha Stewart patio set and the glass just exploded yesterday. All of my grandchildren were outside around this table when for no reason it just shattered in to a million pieces. I paid almost 700.00 for this set and want to know what I can do about it.

Martha Stewart glass table top - shattered all over my deck!

We bought the Martha Stewart outdoor collection...table, umbrella, six chairs, love seat, coffee table.... we have four of our cushions ripped and torn...crispy. And we have them covered most of the time. Also - we had the umbrella down and tethered. A wind came up and flipped the table...it shattered in thousands of pieces. It cost us nearly $300 to have the glass replaced and another $200 for a new umbrella.

Martha Stewart patio table glass top shattered without any near it. It happened after sundown in Mid-April. The kids were inside and heard the top shatter, when they looked outside, no one was around the yard.

we bought a martha stewart patio set from k-mart in 2006, last week the glass table top exploded for no apparant reason. Martha Stewart Everyday Garden Melrose Dining Table

this is unacceptable and thankful no one got hurt badly. I beleive there should be a recall or something as now I have chairs to a dining set with no table and I am afraid that the coffee table will explode next. There are so many complaints and feel I should be accomodated. I have saved all the glass from the table and hope someone will look at all the blogs and complaints and do somehting about this before someone seriousely get hurt.

I woke up and was having coffee when I heard an explosion on the patio. My Martha Stewart patio table had shattered into a million pieces. I just bought it in July 2008 and can't find where I put the reciept. It was 68 degrees outside so I know it wasn't hot.

Martha Stewart Victoria Patio Set Table purchased at Kmart. The glass exploded into hundreds of pieces all over my patio and my dogs. Glass went flying everywhere including in my lawn. There is no way I can possibly get all of that glass up off of the patio or out of the grass.

Table exploded unexpectedly into many small fragments. Did a web search and found that this defect is not uncommon.

Loss of table and concern of small fragments of glass on deck despite extensive clean-up.

April 17th 2009. I heard a loud explosion, I was scared, I thought it was a brake-in, i look out at my patio, and there was shattered glass every where, even in my pool (martha stwart patio table top exploded.) i went into Kmart and spoke with the manager on call on April 19th, 2009, he claimed that he never heard any thing like that.

these tables are still being sold, despite all the complains on Consumer affairs, and he said never heard on single complain). i also have the bar set, and is concerned that too will shatter and injuring my grandchildren. I feel this is unfair due to the fact, that this is hazard to consumes and license dealers need to stop selling this product. i need someone to please contact me at the number above, i am at a loss. Help Me.

My husband and I purhcased a Martha Stewart table and chairs late last summer. In 2 weeks after purchase the glass top shattered. My daughter was on the deck, I was in my kitchen. I looked out the window and heard the pop and saw the glass begin to shatter. The glass broke apart like a jigsaw puzzle. I'd like to know what if anything to do about having the top replaced by the manufacturer or if I will have to replace it?

in 2000 we purchased A martha stweart LAkeside table and chair set It was green with striped cushions, we had the umbrella to match. Last year in 2008 we awoke one morning to the glass shatter into a million small pieces it took forever to clean up. There was no apparent reason for it to break my husband scoured the site and found nothing but the broken glass,we did not even thing to contact anyone we thought it was just a freak accident but then I heard other people say they had the same thing happen I have a frien who has the same set and I let ehr know this poses a danger what if the table was filled with hot food when this happend.

we had to get a new set, moths later still finding glass in out shoues on outr patio, on our kids feet. This was a mess.

My glass topped outdoor table just shattered for absolutely no reason. I mean SHATTERED. Very little pieces all over the place

Loss of a table I paid nearly $500 for. Luckily no one was near the table when it exploded.

I bought a Martha Stewart Patio Set back in 2004. I just discovered that the coffee table glass top shattered where I had it stored during winter. I was shocked to find a million pieces of glass laying on the floor. The patio cushions were laying on top of the table so I knew nothing could have fallen on top of it.

I paid $800 for the set.

I purchased the Martha Stewart Bar Patio Set and the glass top shattered in one section and the entire set is useless now. Nothing caused the glass to shatter it just happened . The entire bar top needs to be replaced. Need to buy another set but not a Martha Stewart product. This is part of the Melrose Collection.

Need a replacement bar/glass top or new bar needs to be replaced. The glass is everywhere on the patio and mixed in with the decorative rocks in the landscaping.

My marth Stewart 54 inch glass table top shattered one night. Cam out in morning to find glass shattered.

Table is not usable, table broke all by itself

I purchased a Martha Stewart patio table and chairs several years back. The glass top shattered in Fall 2007. I did a google search to see about finding a replacement table, but when I arrived at this site, I was surprised to find that I'm not alone. I came home to find the umbrella was sitting in the middle of an empty tabletop metal rim.

I cleaned the glass except for what fell underneath the deck.

My Glass table top on my Martha Stewart patio table shattered into a thousand little pieces, I bought the table at Kmart and cotacted them and they and they said there was nothing they coud do about it, the table is useless not. Is there any kind of class action suit against them?

Tiny glass pieces all over my deck and underneath it also where it fell through the cracks.

My glass patio table exploded into a thousand pieces of glass...just sitting at it!

Well pieces of glass are stuck in my legs and feet. I was sitting barefoot when it happened and had to get up and walk away from it...my dog walked and had his paw cut.

My boyfriend and I were sitting at our Martha Stewart Melrose patio set on Easter Sunday and all of the sudden the glass EXPLODED..literally exploded in trillions of pieces of glass shards all over us and my deck. Thank God no one was seriously hurt, but he did suffer 3 bloody cuts. The glass was all over our legs and clothing. It was a horrible horrible mess, not to mention it took literally hours to clean up were afraid our kids, pets or ourselves could still get cut from the glass that is wedged in our deck.

I have read numerous complaints about the exact same thing happening. I paid over $500 for this set, now I have 6 chairs and a table with no glass. I am very disappointed in the quality of this patio set. I will never buy anything with Martha Stewarts name on it ever again, nor will any of my friends or family.

3 cuts, a table that can not be used, glass pieces so tiny that is still wedged in our deck could be harmful to kids, visitors or pets.

I bought a Martha Stewart patio dining set from Kmart. For no reason, the glass table top shattered. I found on the internet this has happened to hundreds of people and K-Mart-Martha Stewart Cos knew of the glass table top defect. Is there a class action suit in progress? This defective furniture is not only dangerous, what happened was inexcusable.

We purchased a Martha Stewart glass patio table and had it for several years. One afternoon, I went to slide the table over in order to move it and the glass exploded into a million tiny shards. It fell onto the deck (sticking into the soft cedar wood)and below the deck. At first I thought that I did something to cause this, but everyone that I told said that it was impossible for the glass to explode like that just by moving the table around a bit. I was researching customer reviews of new patio bar sets when I came across this site. I was amazed to hear that I am not the only one this has happened to. I would hope that Martha Stewart and company would do right by her customers, and offer some type of compensation.

glass imbedded into wood deck, loss of table, Minor cuts from glass clean up

My Martha Stewart glass top octagonal patio table exploded into a million pieces on my deck yesterday. It was a cool day and the table is protected under a canopy. I searched the internet & discovered that this is a common problem. Took quite a while to clean up all the glass & there's still glass scattered in the grass in in between the boards on the deck. What a mess! If I'd known this table was unsafe I would not have had it around. Shame on Martha Stewart & K-mart for not recalling a known defective product. I could have been injured. This is a giant accident waiting to happen!

I now have a table & chairs with no glass top- I'm not going to give them any more business.

Martha Stewart glass top patio table purchased from Kmart exploded into tiny little pieces for no particular reason.

With out table glass can not use table. Had a very large mess of glass to clean out of my yard and patio.

I purchased a Martha Stewart Patio Table and complete set from K-Mart in Branson, MO in May 2001. Yesterday, while my husband, 90 year old mother and I sat visiting around the dining table, it exploded into a thousand pieces right in front of our eyes. We were covered with glass and were in shock at what had happened, but fortunately no one was injured. The entire set is and has been in a controlled closed in balcony with heat and air, so the temperature was not an issue. We are all senior citizens so the unit was not mis-used. I went online to see if there were any other reports and was shocked again to see the number of complaints!

Small cuts on our hands and feet when the glass blew. No injuries, just a huge mess to clean up and replacement cost which we will have to incur. From reading the other complaints I see that complaining to K-Mart won't do any good.

The glass top of our Martha Stewart lazy suzan top table exploded. This happened during the spring of this year not the hot summer.

Cost 395.00 Fortunatly there was no one sitting at the table when it exploded

I was standing about 2 feet from table with infant daughter in my arms when table just basically exploded. Thank God I had a cover on it to contain the glass. It is quite obvious Martha Stewart and K-MART are aware of this dangerous situation and putting people at risk for serious injury!

It was extremely frightning the sound of all the glass exploding and not knowing what just happened with an infant in my arms! I won't be able to replace it anytime soon because of economy and my husband's loss of hours at his job. So i guess we will be eating off our laps!

I purchased the Martha Steward Victoria style patio furniture at k-mart on 5/6/03. First the canopy on the swing rotted in the first year. I bought a replacement which only lasted also one year. The same year the umbrella fell apart. In 2007 the cushion on the swing is falling apart. On 4/1/09 the table shattered. The weather has been cool so it's not summer heat and it was at night. This is very scary. I have a inground vinyl pool.My concern was that if any glass could have fallen in the pool. I am a senior citizen and cannot clean the mess up. I had to hire someone to clean it up. The cleaning had to be very thorough as most people are barefoot on the deck. In trying to find replacement pieces I came across this web site and want to add my complaint about this awful furniture. Thank you for your attention.

I have searched all possible stores for replacement pieces. I checked even with an upholsterer. Cannot find a swing cushion and the upholsterer said it would be cheaper to buy a new one. The clean up cost me some money and on a fixed income it not something I could spare but had to do.

I purchased the entire Martha Stewart outdoor furniture set several years ago. Swing, loveseat, chairs, coffee table, umbrellas and tables with lazy susans. Two years after I purchased this set, the glass on the leaf design coffee table shattered into a hundred pieces. The following year, the glass on the round table shattered. I still have all of my receipts and photographs to prove the damage. The damage was not due to abuse by the owner. A defect in the product is obviously the cause. It is just unfortunate when you spend a lot of money on a product, take good care of it and it is no longer usable due to a defect that apparently the manufacturer and distributer knew about.

I purchased two Martha Stewart outdoor furniture sets there within a 4-year period. Both glass-top tables shattered. I never put two-and-two together until I saw something on television last night about the exploding Martha Stewart tables. Then, I went on line and found this huge site about all the complaints with the tables. I am so angry because the first table that shattered spewed the glass onto my driveway and all over the hood of my SUV. It was all scratched. I no longer have receipts or anything, but I just wanted to let my complaints be heard as well. Thank you.

I had to pay to have the hood repainted because it was a leased Mercedes) vehicle.

I purchased Martha Stewart's Augusta, set of six chairs, two tables and umbrella for $586.11 on 6/28/03, in the summer of 2006, my grandson went outside and discovered the table had shattered in millions of pieces. Took months to get all the pieces picked up. There should be some compensation for this gross negligence in manufactoring.

obviously money plus danger to pets and anyone using patio table.

I purchased a Martha Stewart patio set with a glass top table from Kmart. It was purchased in the spring of 2005. It was assemled by Kmart for a fee. The set included the table, 6 chairs and an umbrella. We also purchased a matching bar with 4 stools. All of this was assmbled by Kmart. We enjoyed our table for all of a year, when one morning I looked out on my deck only to find that the table had shattered into a million tiny pieces.

Luckily there were no major injuries, only small cuts from spending numerous hours cleaning it up. I now have a table frame with no glass 6 chairs and the worry that the bar will also shatter with out any warning. Please think twice before buying any Martha Stewart patio sets since neither she nor Kmart stand behind their products.

Spent approximately $1200 on everything and now cant use any of it. My husband got minor cuts from cleaning up the tiny pieces of glass.

I just saw a story on the news about Martha Stewart and outdoor table tops that shattered. Ours did, too - for no reason. It was neither too hot nor cold, and no one was around, nothing fell on it - it just shattered all over (and below) our raised deck - putting our family and pets in danger. The glass was cleaned off the deck, but remains underneath, as it is difficult to get to it completely.

The damage was pieces of glass all over the deck, and below it, where people and pets travel - many times in the summer, without shoes. The glass still remains under the deck.

We purchased a glass table patio set from K-Mart made by Martha Stewart. For no reason at all, the glass table top exploded into a million pieces. It sounded like a gun went off! Glass everywhere! Thank goodness no one was sitting at the table when it exploded, especially our children. I had no idea why this happened but went out again to K-Mart in search of a matching table for our six chairs. I bought another one at K-Mart and after now reading these complaints and hearing a story on the news, am concerned about the table exploding again!!!

A lot of time, energy and Money sunk into a poorly manufactured product which could potentially cause serious injuries.

My husband and I purchased a Martha Stewart glass table with 4 chairs and cushions last summer for our outdoor deck. We were so happy with our purchase and the style. Much to our surprise, one day the table just shattered...into millions of pieces it seems. A complete mess! We now are left with 4 chairs and chair cushions but no table. It was a complete set and now seems like a complete rip off.

It appears that I am one of the many who purchased a Martha Stewart exploding outdoor table from KMART(Victoria). Mine exploded in December of 2007, and I assumed it was a manufacturing flaw in the glass. Contacted KMART and the only thing they said they could do for me was sell me a matching table for the set which I reluctantly purchased (not realizing that this issue was prevelant among the line and assuming that Martha Stewart was a quality name, I had no reason to think this was anything except an isolated freak occurance).

Asside from having to buy a second replacement table for over $100, the cleanup was difficult (taking multiple hours) as the table was located on a deck and the minute fragments in many cases became lodged between the decking slats requiring either needle nose plyers or a thin screwdriver to pry them out of the decking. Additionally the deck was unusable for most of the spring as I was unwilling to let my children play on the surface with the possiblity of more glass mixed with snow present.

We purchased our outdoor table and chairs approx 3 years ago. Never had a problem and actually had tons of people compliment the glass and how pretty it was. One day a few weeks ago, the table shattered into a million pieces. It took me forever to clean up the mess and I cut my fingers. I put it in a bag in a cardboard box only to have to clean it all up again because our trash men dropped it in the street. MORE CUTS. Every time it rains it seems that more glass appears on my patio... I assume this is coming from the yard as it would have to have shattered in every single direction. I have 4 kids and a dog so this has been a huge issue. Now I don't know what to do... I have a table that I once loved with 6 huge chairs and NO top.

Purchased 5 piece patio set last Spring and it shattered within the first year. Amazing that this has happened to so many other people.

Now I am trying to find a new table to match the 5 chairs.

I guess I'm lucky that my table top lasted, outdoors in Michigan and Iowa, for 7 years. Mine shattered during a 30 below night in February. I think I'll just contact a glass company for a replacement. During the summer I always have the umbrella up, but I don't know if that helped or not. I did notice that in some places where water stood the paint peeled and rusted.

My glass table top shattered without warning.

We now have to replace the table or try to find new glass. Was cut by very sharp glass trying to clean up.

We have the Martha Stewart outdoor bar set with the glass top. My 14yr. old daughter and 4 of her friends were sitting on the porch around the bar chatting and for no apparent reason one of the 4 sections just shattered. Luckily no one was hurt but it was a scarry situation for them. Now I cannot find a replacement. It is unusable so I don't know what to do. HELP!!!!! with this please. Thank you,

My Martha Stewart Glass topped patio table exploded after only one year of use. I am left with a set of six chairs and no table to use.

I received minor cuts from cleaning up all of the exploded glass which is fine but emotionally I was very upset after spending all that money on something that is now useless to us.

I am another of the consumers who bought a Martha Stewart Patio Table with a glass top from Kmart (March 2002) Late august of 2008 we found the glass table top shattered into innumerable tiny fragments just as described by other consumers here on your web site.The fragments were too numerous and uniformly small in size to have been caused by a traumatic injury to the table top. This had to be due to problems with the tempering of the lgas used for the table top. We would like to be part of the Class action suit if that is possible.

I bought one of Marthat Stewart's outdoor furniture ensemble a few years ago and my table top has shattered too. I got up one morning during the summer and it had shattered on my deck into a million pieces.

The glass top of table was shattered, no physical damage, just a mess to clean up.

I called customer service & was told that the glass table was not warranted for anything. That it is what the glass does, is shatter. I bought the comlete Martha Stewart Melrose patio set 05/09/08 at KMART& paid $536.73. To replace the glass I was told was $75.00 plus shipping.

I now have just a frame of table & a bucket of shattered glass. Even if I bought a replacement, will it shatter again?
