Martha Stewart Outdoor Furniture Reviews

Within 3 years of owning outdoor furniture the product is completely failing. The plastic has become brittle and breaks upon the touch. I have been unsuccessful in finding a customer service contact that will represent the patio furniture. Please help as I have furniture that I am taking to the dump that has only been used two seasons and stored out of the elements.

I purchased 10 outdoor pillows for my lawn furniture. 5 of them ripped at the seam for no reason. I went to move it and a slit opened up the pillows. I had them 2 weeks. I am very DISAPPOINTED. I thought I was getting good quality pillows from her name brand. Falling apart. Would not recommend at all. I wish I had saved the receipt so I could return. Poor quality.

We have an aluminum topped patio table with 4 side chairs and 2 swivel chairs. This set has been kept inside since we bought it about 6 years ago. Yesterday a friend was sitting in a swivel chair and it collapsed. Fortunately he was uninjured. The picture of our chair could be the one in the picture of the collapsed chair except for the cushion color. The metal looks as though it was rotted thru on all of the struts on just below the welds. I am very interested in getting a replacement for the swivel/base assy. How?

Sad and disgusting that this greedy hog puts out this kind of garbage. It will not last one season outdoors. My two chairs and table didn’t even see the sun. It was on a completely covered porch. And shaded by trees. It has unraveled like a run-away ball of yarn. Save yourself $300 or $400 and buy something of value other than anything by this self-aggrandizing thief.

I purchased 2 chairs, a coffee table and couch years ago. The couch and one chair are falling apart, the other 2 pieces are like new. I contacted Martha Stewart living, SHE DOES NOT STAND BY HER PRODUCTS, I was told to contact the store where purchased, she does not oversee manufacturing, warranty or replacements. I've never heard of a company not taking some kind of responsibility for products they put their name on. I will never purchase another product from Martha Stewart.

Love the furniture, good basic design, looks great. I thought it was just me, because weird seem to find me, somehow. I'm very surprised (relieved, (sorry)) after reading these reviews that it has happened to so many. It appears to be a common manufacturing flaw. I also heard very loud bang, like a gunshot, and found the glass table top exploded and shattered into a million pieces. The thing is this is my second time! The first table exploded a few years ago and I thought it was due to sun exposure and I replaced it. Now it just happened again 3 weeks ago for the second time. Thank you all for posting, I was looking to find table #3 when I learned that many customers has had the same experience. What is our recourse as consumers?

I have had this coffee table for a few years. This morning the tempered glass top shattered into a million pieces for no reason. It was on a covered patio and no one around at the time. Not safe as I have read it’s happened to numerous people.

Working in our yard last weekend and heard a loud boom. Didn’t think anything of it until we came to the back of the house to find a million pieces of glass all over the patio. Nothing hit it, no winds to tip it, simply in pieces. No ideas on how to repair at this point but steering away from tempered glass. Buyer beware - does it happen to other glass tables or is it isolated to MS tables? Anyone know?

We are very disappointed, our glass tabletop shattered. I see many others have had the same experience dating back several years. I thought Martha Stewart was a reputable company, WRONG. I checked with local glass companies and no one can replace the glass.

Some time back, I purchased 5 dog beds from PetSmart. While waiting to fully use up what I had, I stored them on 2 white leather chairs, not realizing the damage they would cause. The non-skid bottom completely damaged these leather chairs by depositing a chemical on them. These Cuddle beds still have the labels on them: MS15, Grey Solid Cuddle, (22" sizes by 22" by 18" by 7"). I am livid. They ruined my white leather chairs but that is my fault. I don't, however, trust using them for my small, rescue dogs. I tried contacting the company but had no response. I would be happy to show pictures upon request.

Our Martha Stewart 6 piece set looked great the first summer season. The second season the furniture began to crack and break into small pieces. Every day new pieces of the furniture would break off and fall to the ground. This furniture was costly and we expected it to last more than a year. It turns out the "Finish" is warranted against peeling and cracking for only one year. We have to throw the whole set away. Don't be fooled and think you can trust Martha Stewart outdoor furniture. This "Cashmere wicker" furniture will not last more than a year before it will start breaking into small pieces and falling apart. We lightly used our furniture and stored it for the winter. Even if you take proper care of it your fake plastic wicker will start breaking apart. You will have to sweep the pieces up every day and before inviting company over.

Outdoor table shattered. Appears to have been a real issue with this company and product based on Consumer Affairs reviews. Is there any recourse or will Martha Stewart offer a free replacement acrylic top or similar? I do not want to put glass top back on.

Had this set for about three years on a covered patio with no rain or sun to beat it up. The two rocker like chairs and the table are coming unwoven, splitting, rotting and falling apart. The cushions are the only things in good shape because I keep them in the garage and only take them out when we're going to use them, which is once or twice a week. Will never again buy anything that this charlatan makes or endorses. I wish they'd lock her up again. Everyone who knows me will vouch for the fact that I take extreme measures to take care of everything I own. I paid $400 or $500 for the set.

Charlottesville glass and vinyl wicker patio table - My husband came home from work to find out glass tabletop (from our Martha Stewart Charlottetown Collection) shattered on the back deck. Did not know how it happened, but after reading the other reviews, I can see that this problem has occurred before. I have checked with area businesses to get another glass tabletop cut and inserted, but it will be several hundred dollars. Several business owners have suggested that I contact the Martha Stewart company to see if they have replacement glass... but it looks like, from the other reviews, that it will just shatter again. Is there any recourse? Has anyone had luck with getting Martha Stewart company to fix this design error - and dangerous situation? I have grandchildren who I cannot let go barefoot outside the house now due to the company's inferior product.

Two days ago on the 4th of July my Martha Stewart glass top table exploded on my deck without warning. It was caught on my security camera. I have no idea why this happened but I feel it is the company's responsibility to inform its customers that there is a potential danger in buying these tables. They should also be giving money back to all of the people who purchased these tables since they are faulty. I am so grateful we were not home at the time or had people over for a BBQ or this could have been very, very bad.

We bought the Charlottetown Outdoor Furniture set. Our furniture set's under a roof overhang so protected from rain. We still put the cushions in a deck box if it is going to be raining and windy so the cushions do not get wet. They are keep in a deck box all winter under the roof overhang. The original set of cushions were a light sage type green which faded terribly. I could handle that but then the second year the cushion material begin to shred. We flipped the cushions to get through the summer.

Purchased my set from Home Depot in 2014 and today June of 2017 I heard a splintering sound and there was the table top glass in a heap under the table. The clean up was intense since I have dogs and cat who could hurt their paws walking around out there and I have stepping stones. Bad vendor, poor workmanship etc... Will never buy another one of her products again despite the look or style which is usually well executed. Also waiting to receive a part for chairs from the set that the company says might collapse and needs a stronger post. It has collapsed for some evidently and that is why they are doing this. Terrible experience all around.

We purchased the Martha Stewart Living Cascade Valley 7-Piece Patio Dining Set three years ago. After being stored from one Winter, the table and chairs exhibited minor rust. What was worse, the after the first rainfall, rainwater that had gotten into the furniture came out the drain holes in the bottom of the pieces as a nasty black liquid. This material stained our deck and could not be washed off.

We purchased a Martha Stewart set of patio furniture - 6 swivel chairs and rectangular glass top table about 4 years ago for a large amount of money as we felt it looked like a quality set. All of the joints started rusting after a year or so and the plastic clips became brittle & broken and to make matters worse the glass top exploded this spring!!

I purchased this beautiful set at my local Home Depot as I thought it would make a great patio table (Octagon patio set) for my large family which consists of 6 children. Well, after only having the patio set for about 6 months I arrived home to see the table shattered into a million tiny pieces all over my deck. At first I thought one of the older kids must have accidentally cause it to shattered when play outside but as they all have me their word that they didn't do it. I thought from some fluke of nature a rock must have fell on it and caused it to break... (Did not find any rocks) or someone had vandalized my home... (But nothing else was damaged).

Outdoor table set purchased May 2011 from Home Depot was a good purchase until yesterday when it automatically exploded. Fortunately, I was just inside from it when it happened. Wish I had read reviews prior to making the purchase.

I had the patio set less than three months and had just gotten up from the table leaving my cellphone and drink there. I turned and walked a few steps away and heard an explosion and looked and the glass had exploded in a million pieces straight down on the outdoor rug. One minute earlier and it would have landed in my lap. The patio set had been in the shade the entire morning. The set presents a huge liability factor for Martha Stewart and given the reviews regarding this issue I am very surprised it is still on the market!

Bought these chairs about 3 yrs ago. Was initially pleasantly surprised. However, within a year the cushions were molding (on covered patio) and seams were giving way. Replacement covers were only available in a few colours. I eventually had them covered by an upholsterer friend of mine at a cost of $300 labor. I unfortunately bought the not-so-expensive outdoor fabric (7 yds) and they molded too. Don't despair! You can buy wide thick cushions without the wings and they still look great. Many online sites have these approx 23 x 21 x 4" cushions.

We bought a Martha Stewart patio set two years ago. In 4 months it started to rust, paint peeled off, leaks rust on our patio... Today the glass tabletop exploded into a zillion pieces. What can we do?

I received my Martha Stewart wicker dining table as a gift. Never used it. Glass shattered into a million pieces after 3 months. No satisfaction from Home Depot. Their answer was - "oh too bad". This product is terrible. Do not purchase Martha Stewart products.

We have owned this set for a few years. While inserting a new umbrella into the hole in the center, the top shattered. I had shorts on and was barefoot. I had blood streaming down both legs from the shattered glass. Overall, we have been happy with this set until this point. After reading reviews, this seems to be a problem. Had I known the dangers prior to buying, I would not have purchased this set. Now, I am recovering from scrapes and a long laceration on my right ankle and foot. This is a beautiful but very dangerous if the top shatters when someone is near. Buyer BEWARE!!!

setting up table and glass top and pulling all chairs out, and trying to figure out what we are going to do with chairs, the glass table top imploded. What a horrible noise and mess, but thank God it didn't happen when my husband was carrying it. Shame on Martha Stewart. To only get 3 yrs use is pathetic. It will all go to the dump will all the other Martha Stewart junk she put her name on that is now in the landfill.

Early this morning we found the glass tabletop of our patio table shattered into thousands of pieces. We initially suspected vandalism but absolutely nothing else was harmed or missing. One daughter suspected a micro meteorite. The other sent a link to this and other websites, all of which discussed spontaneous shattering. Patio set bought at Home Depot three years ago. Comments on websites indicate little or no satisfactory responses from any entity which may have responsibility. Am shopping for new table!

We bought the conversation set and 2 chaise lounges. The fabric is the absolute worst! Fading, ripping for no apparent reason, rough texture. Didn't make it through one season. The line is now discontinued (no surprise) and it is more than frustrating to find quality replacement cushions that don't end up costing more than new furniture! Yikes, I would like to start all over but somehow this didn't right. It appears that everyone else had the same experience. Anyone have any suggestions??!

I have already given a review on my patio set (June, 2014). After reading all the reviews on the shattering (mine hasn't) of glass inserts I took the measurements of the opening without the glass, went to Home Depot and had them cut a sheet of plywood to those exact measurements (got two insert pieces from one sheet). I then bought a sealer for wood and outdoor paint to match the set. The plywood insert fits perfectly and with a tablecloth on one cannot tell. If you use an umbrella, a hole would have to be cut. I actually don't use the glass now and am much more comfortable as the fear factor is gone.

Purchased a complete set of quarry red Martha Stewart Wicker furniture, put loveseat out for one week, under my top patio. One day of rain and now mold on all four cushions. We purchased this in Portsmouth New Hampshire last fall at Home Depot, (we were building a new home) put it together, kept it indoors, now I can not get a answer in Canada. They saying green is available. This is not right for items classified as OUTDOORS. What can I do?

We have had our 7 piece set for 3 years and we came home to find the glass shattered. By doing some online searching, this seems to have happen to a lot of others. Can't find how to get a replacement glass for it. Very disappointing.

Heard a loud bang. Thought it was a dump truck driving by. Later in the day I was letting my cat in from the deck and the table glass was shattered into a million pieces. I could not believe it. I tried to figure what had happened. Maybe something fell from the sky (Lol).

I purchased the Martha Stewart Miramar II patio furniture, including table with 6 chairs, conversation set with bench, table and 2 chairs, and the set with 2 chairs and table. I have had them outside this summer, and only half of last summer. All the cushions are falling apart, tearing and stuffing coming out. I am unable to find where to get replacement cushions, and feel they should be replaced for free. This is unacceptable!

Purchased 3 chairs, a love seat and ottoman 18 months ago. The fabric of the chairs and ottoman are shedding. Overwintered in garage and subjected only to sun. Replacement covers have been discontinued. Have requested Martha Stewart to replace.

We had left the house for about an hour and returned to find the patio table completely shattered. The chair fabrics is also of poor quality and has begun to shred.

We've had this patio set for some time. The other day, for no apparent reason, we found the glass top shattered into thousands of pieces. The ConsumerAffairs.com and other websites confirmed that this is a major problem that has been occurring for years. Nobody, not Martha Stewart, not Kmart (where we purchased the set), or JRA Furniture, the manufacturer, will take any responsibility.

My wife was sitting at the table when it just shattered all over the deck. She was unable to move until we swept the glass away from her feet so she could walk away.

Charlottetown dining set 1 year old glass table top 42" square shattered this week. Weather not an issue. Glass everywhere and may have compromised our swimming pool. Called Home Depot and it is not covered for replacement. The cushions from the seats, $1,200 set, are staining and cannot remove the stains.

On July 10, 2015 the glass top on our patio set shattered. Glass was all over the chairs and on the patio as if it had exploded. Thankfully it had happen sometime during the night and no one was hurt. We have had this set for several years and I do not have the receipt. I did however save the broken glass.
