    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!

    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:

    Chair ** $299.99
    table ** $100.00
    layaway fee $5.00
    tax $31.00

    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.

    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?

    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.

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.

    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.

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.

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!

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.

    I purchased Martha Stewart Melrose patio set (6 chairs, table, umbrella and stand), spending approximately $650. Had this table for less than one week and the top just shattered while I was standing by it. I had on sandals and the shock made me step out of them, so I stepped right down onto the shattered glass.

    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.

    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!

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.

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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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 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.
