Martha Stewart Outdoor Furniture Reviews

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We then searched the internet for a replacement top and read about the many other incidences just like ours.

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 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.

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?

Approx 2 weeks ago (12 June 2011), I purchased 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. The economic damage is that I have to go out and buy a new table. Physical damage is that my daughter and myself had a few cuts on our legs.

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.

Martha Stewarts tables are still exploding. Mine exploded in March 2011. It was originally 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. Table with no glass. Dogs cut paws, hard to clean up little slivers, still finding them here and there.

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 google 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.

The 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! I 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!

I have a Martha Stewart glass top bar table. While putting in umbrella it tilted slightly, did not fall on it, and the entire table shattered into a million pieces. My arms and legs both got lots of cuts from the pieces flying at me. This table was on our cement pool deck, so it took lots of time making sure every little sliver was picked up and that is how small the table top broke into tiny bity pieces. A few also went into pool--not good. 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 Stewart's 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 (a Martha Stewart outdoor living patio set). I am out the hundreds of dollars I spent for the set; in addition I had to spend money to buy another 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. We had to buy a new set at a time when it was very tough for us financially and couldn't get something as nice. I was also about 7 months pregnant and had to clean up the whole thing. I have pictures of the table.

After returning home after a week's vacation, I found the table shattered. There was shattered glass on floor. I’m unable to use table.

My patio table shattered about two weeks ago. It 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 (ages ranging from three to 10 years old) were sitting on the patio table when the table suddenly shattered in front 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 K-Mart, but because there is no warranty on the glass they were not helpful.

I purchased a Martha Stewart patio table with 6 chairs. The Melrose collection. The table exploded into many pieces. I have heard that many other people have had the same experience with this table set. I purchased this table set from Kmart on 4-21-09. I only used the set for 2 years and I would expect to get a lot more use out of something like this.

My Martha Stewart Victoria glass top table disintegrated into tiny pieces. I bought the set at Kmart and spent about $400 for the set. The cushions also deteriorated very fast. We 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. Medical bill for $130 and no table to use.

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.

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.

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.

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 cushion—I 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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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 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.

I had the Victoria glass top patio table that shattered and the Martha Stewart mosaic bench that disintegrated 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. We now have to buy a new table. You bet it won't be glass!

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 patio 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 spent two full days cleaning up tiny morsels of glass. Very disappointed. I am a 65 years old woman who physically was forced to spend 2 days in the sweltering heat cleaning glass from my patio. I was forced to purchase a new table and matching chairs since I was expecting guests a week later.

I woke up this morning to find that the table top had just crumbled into small cubes of glass. I have a pool and therefore have locked fence surrounding my backyard. There was nothing else disturbed and no explanation for the broken glass. This set had cost over $600.00 and was used one season. Fortunately, this occurred during the early morning hours. No one was near the table the time and there were no injuries.

I purchased the dining table from Martha Stewart's patio collection approximately two years ago. This afternoon I walked onto my patio, turned around (thank goodness) and the large octagon table spontaneously 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. I won’t 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 an outdoor rug that was under the table which was shredded, plus what if my hand requires a doctor’s visit and if the pool sustained any damage?

I bought a Martha Stewart 5 pieces 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.

My Martha 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.

Our glass top shattered and it was a big mess to clean up. What should we do with six chairs and a table frame with no top?

I 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 mismatched furniture.

I purchased Martha Steward Furniture, a table and umbrella five chairs, three 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 apparent 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 and find a table to match the rest of the set without making us go bankrupt.
