Martha Stewart Outdoor Furniture Reviews

I purchased a Martha Stewart Olympia collection patio set around two years ago. On January 13th, 2009, while letting the dog outside I noticed that the glass from the table had shattered. I check around and there was nothing that may have broken the glass. I now have to replace the glass or the entire table. We purchased many items in this collection but now we have to replace it with something that does not match.

We have the Martha Stewart Everyday patio set and our table suddenly exploded for no reason. This product needs to be off the market before someone gets seriously hurt!

My Martha Stewart glass tabletop shattered this morning (1/09). The temp in Dallas, TX is 80 degrees, so that wasn't a problem. The glass top shattered without warning and dispersed all over my patio. It is a very dangerous area considering I have a young son.

I was watching a news cast about problems with the Martha Stewart Outdoor-line of furniture. Not only had I purchased one set (2004) but a second set in (2006). Just like the reports on the news, the glass top table just EXPLODED when nothing was on top of it but two people were simply moving it only a foot. After this incident that I thought was my fault because it shouldn't have been moved, I purchased another set the following spring; only because I was trying to match the original furniture left from the original purchase. However, that was also a waste because they change the colors every year so that you have to purchase a complete set. This tabletop also EXPLODED with no one around this time; the only explanation we could come up with was that the umbrella must have caused it. Now that I know that the material was defective it only makes sense. I now have two tables with no glass tops, since it is more expensive to have a glass replacement than it was to cut a piece of wood and cover it with a table cloth. Now I have two ugly tables covered with wood and table cloths and am out about 400 dollars.

We have a Martha Stewart Patio table which we purchased at Kmart in Spring Valley, CA in 2002. About a month ago, the glass tabletop shattered in small pieces. No one was home at the time, but my son noticed it when he went out onto the patio later. I haven't tried to contact Martha Stewart or Kmart yet. I just today decided to see if a replacement top was available, when I found a few articles on the internet regarding this issue and that it is a known problem with these tables. Who should I contact with respect to this issue?

I had a family gathering on the Fourth of July and we were playing cards and the darn thing just shattered!! Glass was in everybody's lap and it was a blessing no one got hurt!!! We still have the table itself and I would like to get reimbursed with another table, this time something with no danger involved.

Purchased a Martha Stewart patio set for Mother's Day a few years ago (may still have the receipt) from Kmart and one afternoon my teenage daughter calls me at work and said she heard something in the backyard that sounded like glass breaking. I called our neighbor who is a police officer to go check the backyard for me and he called and stated that everything was in order and that it looks like the table just shattered. Very disappointing. The ironic part about this is my daughter-in-law purchased the same set when I did and this past Sept 29th she called me and said that she and my son were walking out on their deck to have some morning coffee and as they opened their patio door to step outside...the table just shattered and scared the heck right out of them.

I opened the door to my patio & heard a strange sound. At first I thought it was a huge flock of birds. All of a sudden I saw the glass from my table raining down in little shards. It completely shattered without anyone or anything near it.

10-20-08 - Came home after being out for only 1 hour to find my patio table had exploded into a million pieces for no reason. Luckily no one was injured, but the cleanup was terrible! (I did take pictures to show what happened.) It was purchased at Kmart (Martha Stewart collection) about 4 years ago. I went online to purchase a new top and found this website. I am horrified to hear all these complaints about the same thing happening. There should be a major recall before someone gets seriously injured!!! I too, am now stuck with 6 chairs and no table and it looks like the cost to replace the top will be almost the cost to replace the whole set. THANKS MARTHA!!!!

Martha Stewart patio table glass top shattered into a million small pieces for no reason.

I purchased a Martha Stewart Melrose patio set in 2005 and in May 2008, it exploded. I noticed on the internet that there was a class action lawsuit for this type of situation, however, it was not for the set we purchase. I have been all over the internet and there are numerous complaints of this happening. I don't understand why everyone who has had this happen to them isn't included in this lawsuit. To purchase a replacement table is $139 BUT we have to pay an additional $125 for shipping. This is ridiculous! The glass exploded all over our deck. Fortunately, no one was hurt. We're out a table to match the 6 chairs we have!

In 2004 we purchased a patio table and 6 matching chairs from KMart which was sold under the Martha Stewart brand. Last week, the glass top on the table exploded into a million prices. It was a mess to clean up with razor sharp pieces spread all over the patio and the lower level walkout below.

Bought an outdoor table and 6 chairs from the Martha Stewart line at Kmart in 2004. In 2006, my son and I heard loud crash on patio. We discovered the table in thousands of pieces. Not understanding how this happened, I went back to Kmart and all they would do is sell me another table for $100 which I still have but now after reading this site, I am very nervous it will happen again. It appears to have happened to hundreds if not thousands of people. I cannot understand how it is still on the market. Also, now four of the six chairs have problems like bolt hinges breaking and pipe legs splitting. I hate to do this but looks like I need to throw this set out and start again (very expensive).

My glass table top just exploded. (Thank God) No one was on the enclosed deck when it happened. Glass everywhere some as small as hail... no cracks, etc. Nothing on top of the table! This is a definite safety hazard and I shudder to think of the small children that I've had playing there. Please recall these tables for safety sake.

The glass top of our patio table spontaneously shattered this week. We purchased it from Kmart in April 2002. It was from the Martha Stewart Collection. It happened late at night and nobody was anywhere near it. It was on a second story covered deck. It has made a huge mess and I am concerned for anyone who will walk around below the deck as thousands of pieces of tiny glass shards have now fallen through the slats of the wood flooring to the ground below. It will be nearly impossible to assure we have recovered all of the glass pieces.

Same here, (as many others have reported), I have a Martha Stewart Outdoor Patio Set, (leaf patterned, round glass table, with glass Lazy Susan & 5 chairs).... glass. Middle of the night, just heard a crashing sound outside. Surprised to see the entire glass top shattered into a gazillion pieces. Tiny shards!!! Nothing caused it. Nothing at all was even placed on the glass at the time of combustion. It apparently has spontaneously disintegrated just like the reports of many other Martha Stewart glass table tops. Glass is EVERYWHERE!!

I purchased the Victorian Glass table with the lazy susan with the 5 chairs about 4 years ago. I heard a sound outside in 05/08, like glass breaking, wondered what I had outside that would do that. When I went outside, the glass table was in a zillion pieces. I has a gazebo around it. I called the 800 consumer# for Martha Stewart products to report it and I was assured this was the first time they had heard about it. I came online today to try to find a replacement for the gazebo top that ripped and for my 3 seat swing, and found this site. So I am also lodging a complaint.

3rd patio table to shatter for no reason!!!! JUNK JUNK JUNK!!! I will NEVER buy anything Martha Stewart. JUNK.

Our patio table exploded into millions of pieces of glass while we were sitting at it eating dinner Sunday night, 9/28/08.

About 4 years ago we bought a Martha Stewart collection table and chairs set. Last weekend we came outside to find that the glass tabletop had shattered. The lazy susan was fine. I am trying to find a replacement top for it.

The glass top on my Martha Stewart patio table spontaneously exploded into a zillion pieces, VERY DANGEROUS

9/23/08 at5:15 A.M. I was getting ready to go to work when I heard a loud POP outside. Ilooked out of the back door and saw that our glass table top exploded all over half of the deck. After I got home from work I got to pick up the mess and use a butter knife to pick the glass from between the decking so my dog doesn't cut her paws.

Fortuntly for us, our table broke when we were in bed and we heard this loud crash. After investigating we found our leaf pattered cocktail table that we purchased from kmart, The martha stewart collection. Is in a million pieces. We could not figure out how it could break. It had the crackling noise after it broke for several minutes like a popping noise. Very unsafe. How many complaints does one company need to call for a recall. This without a dought needs some serious resolultion. These tables should be pulled off the market. And the company who manufatures the glass and the tables needs to be checked out to make sure they do not distribute such a defective product.

Over two years ago, we bought the Martha Stewart Collection patio furniture, a table and two lounge chairs with ottomons and covers for them. We also bought two of the matching fold-up chairs and fold-up lounge. Within the first month or so, I went up onto the pool deck and found the glass from the table was shattered in a million pieces like it fell straight through the table. I called K-Mart and they referred me to the manufacturer who sent me a replacement top for the table.

I purchased a Martha Stewart patio set (Victoria) with the glass top. I have the glass bar table. I have had it for 3 years and today 9-19-08 it shattered out of the blue. I am heart broken. It shattered into thousands of tiny pieces all over my deck.

Yesterday, sitting 20 feet away, I heard a loud noise and looked to find that glass table top had shattered. Nothing was on the glass itself, just a few things on the lazy susan, which did not break. Nothing fell on the glass or touched it that I can tell, it just shattered. Martha Stewart products are such junk, no more for us. We didn't save any glass but have a couple of pictures.

The Glass on the Bar top shattered,

my patio table just shattered for no reason..its made by Martha Stewart and was purchased at kmart.. they wont replace this table and the company who made it is no longer around...

My patio table from Kmart - Martha Stewart just shattered yesterday on my deck for no reason. I went online to try and order a replacement and found that thousands of other consumers have had the same thing happen and Kmart is not doing anything. We were lucky that we were not home at the time. I can't imagine what would have happened if we had been sitting there when it happened. It probably would have been in our face. The glass was everywhere on my deck and underneath. It is a mess to clean up and will probably never get it all picked up.

I looked outside and noticed that all of the glass had shattered from the table onto the ground and on my patio for no reason. Nothing hit it or fell on it. The glass was in a pile directly under and around the perimeter of the table. Earlier I thought I heard a strange crashing sound, but didn't look outside until later.

I purchased a Martha Stewart patio set. Table and 4 chairs with umbrella. The glass top of the table broke 2 weeks after I bought it. Somehow they replaced just the table for me with a new one. 1 year later, the glass top shattered all over my lawn again. It was so hard to clean up. We had to use a shop vac, and get all the pieces up so my 8 year old son would not step on any of the glass. It was a mess. It happened twice.

My victoria dinning set was purchased in 2004(?)--in Sept. 2005 the lazy susan part of it shattered. When I called to purchase a new one they told me it was still under warranity and replaced it on 10/05/2005. Now on Aug. 3rd, 2008 my table top exploded.

We purchased a Martha Stuart glass top table with 6 chairs and a matching umprella. We have had this set for a few years and this past week, the table just crumbled and pieces of glass flew everywhere. It was an awful mess to clean up and I suffered a few cuts.

On Saturday, August 30, 2008 my Martha Stewart patio table that was purchased at K-Mart exploded. Sending small shards of glass everwhere. It took my husband and myself hours to clean up. The public should know about this and there should be a recall on these tables. Even though being careful my husband and myself cut our foot. Ironically, my neighbor had the same table and it exploded about six months ago.

We purchased a Martha Stewart Collection patio set from K-Mart. We have owned it for a few years and out of the blue, without any odd weather or other issue, the table exploded with a million shards of glass all over. We unfortunatley have the same issues as so man others, with glass all over our deck, as well as falling through to the yard below. It has been impossible to get it all up, and we are very, very nervous about kids playing outside.

On Sunday 8/31/08 my glass top Martha Stewart patio table spontaneously shattered into a million pieces while my sister and I were sitting at it. My sister sustained a few cuts on her legs and feet from the broken glass. We were thankful it wasn't much worse and that our kids weren't sitting there. Is there any recourse or are these tables being recalled? I was shocked to see how many other people have reported the same thing.

purchased a martha stewart amelia island patio set, stored the table in the garage covered by blanket, came out to find it shattered all over garage floor, this occurred in feb. 2008

The glass table top from a Martha Stewart table shattered on August 19 2008 on my patio sending glass as far as 8 feet away from table.I purchased this table in approx. 2004

I was sitting by my pool with guests having coffee when my new Martha Stewart Melrose collection patio table glass suddenly shattered into thousands of tiny pieces. Shards of glass and hot coffee were everywhere. This is the area of our yard where everyone spends most of their time and are barefoot. When the glass shattered the glass went in the grass , on the pool cement deck, and in the pool.

The Martha Stewart Collection glass table, umbrella and chairs were purchased several years ago; one afternoon, about two weeks ago, we came home to find own glass top shattered on the patio. Thankfully, no one was around at the time

I purchased a glass table patio set acouple years ago from kmart. The glass top shattered. Kmart will do nothing for me. I spent almost $600.00 on this table. I am very mad and will never buy another thing from kmart or martha stewart again. also the weather proof chairs rusted and the cloth tore in pieces.

I purchased the victorian patio set a little over two years ago. I arrived home today to find the glass table shattered into a million pieces for no apparent reason. My dog had to have glass removed from his paw. I am very disappointed with the product and, from reading the reviews, I am not alone. Kmart will not assume any responsibility and neither will Martha Stewart. I would expect more from her company. Will never purchase any of her products again and urge everyone to do the same.

I arose this morning to find that the glass top on my Martha Stewart Outdoor Patio Furniture had exploded during the night.

I purchased a Martha Stewart glass table in 2003. In the past few years I know a few people that have had their table shatter for no reason. I thought I must have got a good one since it is five years old and fine. Well, yesterday it just shattered for no reason. Luckily it was far enough away from the pool which my daughter was swimming in at the time, and I was on the other end of the deck.

Retuned from a short vacation and found our formerly Martha Stewart endorsed patio table broken into countless shards. It is a few years old - but didn't expect this. We have 7 matching chairs, a small oval table, matching setee and a 'still in box' matching umbrella. Took some great pictures. No injurys but a major cleanup job as our patio has very deep joints in the concrete floor slab. Wife refuses to walk barefoot now - one of her passions.

We purchased a Martha Stewart patio dining set approximately five years ago. Yesterday, right before we expected a house full of people for a party, the table glass spontaneously exploded for no reason Besides the hassle of having to clean up the million pieces of glass, we were just so thankful that no one was actually sitting out there when it happened and no one was hurt.

I purchased the Martha Stewart Melrose 5 pc patio set for $503.00 on July 2, 2008 and on August 24, 2008 it shattered into pieces, cutting my foot and my daughters head. KMart told me to contact Martha stewart [website] but so far no reply

I had recently purchased a outdoor patio set by Martha Stewart (5chairs, round table with lazy susan, and umbrella). While doing some gardening in the yard the glass table on the deck just exploded into thousands of small cubes with nothing striking the table at all. The glass lazy susan remained intact. I can only surmise this was a design flaw in the product with either a problem in the design places in the glass or the frame being to tight and expansion/contraction causing it to shatter

I purchased a Martha Stewart patio set and the glass table just shattered into a million little pieces. Although it is safety glass, it was very sharp and a lot of glass to clean up. I am so pleased we were not sitting there as it is a popular spot for our family to eat and play games.

This is the 2nd table we purchased at Kmart that has shattered for no reason. Both were Marths Stewart Patio furniture. I didn't ask for a refund on the first one because I didn't realized tis was a nationwide issue.

This afternoon, for no apparent reason, the glass table top of our Martha Stewart Patio set just shattered in to a million tiny pieces!

I bought a Martha Stewart Bloomington Patio set and the glass on the table top exploded into a million pieces. It happened during the night so when we got up in the morning we found that it was useless. Tiny pieces of glass are stuck in between the boards on the deck and will have to be removed.

SImilar to above incidences. My wife was just on our patio, went in the house for a few minutes to hear about the kids first day at school and my 8 year old daughter looked out the ptio door and said,that's not good. My wife came over to find the glass top on the table completely shattered into a zillion pieces. While trying to clean it up she was cut, and now she doesn't even trust sitting on the cushions because shards of glass may be embedded in them. And there is still a concern of missed pieces cutting our children and dog. Not to mention it just started to rain. How can a company not take responsibility when there are so many cases reported. I don't even want to know how much this is going to cost me.

I called the Customer Service Dept for Kmart and Sears and told them of the patio table top exploding and asked how I could get this replaced. The one operator told me he would send a template over to a glass cutter and they would contact me in 2 business days with cost and shipping. After 4 day's fo hearing from no one, I called this so called glasscutter at NEWMARK which was what the operator #52880 Reuben said would be the company doing this for me, and they said no such order was placed, that they don't cut table tops for patio tables....?

On August 13, 2008 I heard a giant crashing sound. Much to my horror I found that my Martha Stewart Everyday Garden Melrose glass top patio table had exploded into millions of small pieces and many of them are became in my deck. After examining the area I found that the table shattered spontaniously. Nothing was on the table, weather was wonderful and the table had been well maintained for 2 years.

my glass tabletop exploded. have to puchase a new patio set

Our Martha Stewart outdoor glass-topped table exploded in the middle of the night with no one around and nothing causing it.

My son said he had heard about this on the news so I looked online and found your site. Fortunately my sons and their friend were not around when this occurred. They could have been seriously hurt. I am glad this did not occur during my grandson's birthday party where small children could have been very seriously injured and scared. This is very frustrating and a major concern. I have the mess to clean up on my new deck, hassle with KMart to get a replacement, and then purchase new patio set to finish out the summer. Not summer fun!

Martha Stewart patio table top exploded into a zillion pieces.

I came home one evening and let my dogs out on the patio and everything was O.K. When I came back 5 minutes later, the glass top on my Marth Stewart patio table had shattered. I looked around to see if something had hit the top, but there was nothing except the shattered glass.

We purchased 10 pieces of the Martha Stewart outdoor furniture from Kmart. Today, August 10, 2008, our round glass table top exploded for no apparent reason. We were home at the time and found the glass shattered all over our screened in porch. The furniture has never been used outside, but has always been on a screened-in porch. What a dangerous situation for our two Bichons who are usually out on the porch!

Our Martha Stewart glass top round patio table with lazy susan on top shattered while we were on vacation. It had a beautiful leaf pattern in it. It shattered completely for no reason. It has always been covered by an umbrella throughout summer.

Purchased Martha Stewart table with 5 chairs and umbrella in 2004. This morning the glass spontaneously combusted. Like SO MANY other people I was about to look for a replacement for the glass....but now I am unsure if I should replace.

I had a martha stewart glass table with the lazy susan for my patio furniture. I came home to it shattered in a thousand pieces on my deck the other day. Thank god I had came home from work that afternoon and let my puppy in for the day. He usually likes to lay under the table in the shade during the day.

Last night, August 7, 2008 I was sitting inside my home, after recently coming in from sitting at the Martha Stewart Patio table, when I heard this horrendous crash. I walk outside to make sure nothing major had happened and I see my patio table in thousand small pieces! I was very disturbed by the matter because I was sitting out there just moments ago.

Purchased a Martha Stewart patio set. The glass top shattered leaving shards of glass all over my patio. Chairs and umbrella rusted and seat fabrics faded. This is a hazard for any one who may be in the vicinity when the glass shatters. Slivers of glass cut feet and hands.

We have a Martha Stewart patio furniture set (Montecito Collection). We purchased it from K-Mart in 1999. We had been perfectly happy with its performance and the set has been located on a covered deck for the past 4 years. On August 5, 2008, while my family was swimming nearby in our pool when the glass top spontaneously 'exploded'. Fortunately no one was injured, but there was absolutely no apparent cause for it to shatter.

purchased martha stewart victoria patio set, Class top table suddenly exploded as we were enjoying a day by the pool, fortunately the children were not near the table, my husband suffered a small laceration on his shin. apparrently kmart and martha stewart will not offer any replacement/explanation/ proration/ compensation or even apology

We purchased a replacement round dining table because the first one shattered. The first time we thought it was due to vandalism as the table was sitting on our deck. So we replaced it and moved the second table into our screened in porch. Less than two years later this table did the same thing shattered, 08/04/08, We were looking to replace it through a KMART and in the process found out that MANY table tops from the Martha Stewart collection manufactured by JRA Industries have shattered. We still have both frames and no glass tops.

at table just finished cleaning up dinner ,went in house to do dishes and heard a shattering noise like glass breaking , sure enough went outside and table was all over patio and flew into our pool. took pictures and cleaned it up.

Martha Stewart Glass Patio Table.

The glass table top and matching turntable on my Martha Stewart patio set shattered into a thousand pieces on its own last summer. The table was under a patio cover and nothing struck it to create this damage. The turntable was still intact on the top so I moved it to the side of the patio and it too shattered the next day. I have had this table for only a few years.

Out of the blue, our patio table top just shattered into zillions of pieces. It will cost me nearly 200 dollars just to replace the top. I would like Martha Stewart to take responsibility for this uncalled for lack of quality. Absolutely nothing fell on the glass and it is on a very sheltered patio. We were speechless when we saw the pile of glass.

I bought a complete set of Martha Stewart Patio furniture in 2004 and tha patio table shattered in the middle of the night in thousands of pieces. We went to the Kmart in Longview Texas and told them what had happened and they said they had never heard of it happening and had no complaints from anyone saying theirs had shattered. Anyway we cleaned all the glass up and tried to purchased a new glass to go in the table only to find out we could buy a new table cheaper than what the new replacement glass would cost.

Lawn table exploded, a Martha Stewart lawn table. K Mart took the product back and credited us with a refund, since the set was about 5 weeks old. However, I now see that the problem was WELL known to the entire world, and the product was still sold by K Mart

Martha Stewart - Everyday Garden Victoria patio set. We have a glass top table, 5 chairs and bar table that I am afraid to use considering all the complaints I have just read. We cannot return any of it because we purchased over one year ago. Do I have any recourse with Martha Stewert company? Out of pocket $600 and no patio furniture to use.

Glass top shattered 2 years ago when just setting outside on patio. Umbrella broke last year to where it only slants sideways, won't go straight up! Cushions are faded and ugly! The set is 4 years old!! Contacted JRA and was told Out of Warranty.

Already upset over the shoddy chairs and chaise lounges, last Thursday I was in the house when I heard a terrible noise out on the deck. I went out to find the glass top of my patio table in a million pieces on the floor. I had no idea that these table tops were prone to this until I started researching online. Luckily no one was sitting at the table when this happened. The entire patio set ( two chaise lounges six chairs and the table are unsable) is a worthless pile of junk. The webbing in all of the chairs as well as the chaise lounges is ripped and irreplaceable. Several tries to find replacement webbing has come up empty. The table, of course is a total loss because the top is in a million pieces. I have pictures. The entire set cost approximately $1000.00

I purchased a Martha Stewart 9 piece lawn furniture set. The glass top shattered and the two additional lawn chairs totally fell apart after a year of use. I sewed the chairs back together but they just kept ripping out in a different spot. For the money that was spent, I am totally disappointed. Now it seems I need to purchase new lawn furniture and pay to discard the old stuff. When the table shattered I did cut myself in several areas from the glass.

We bought our Martha Stewart glass outdoor table and 5 chairs a few years ago. About a week ago I was making lunch in the kitchen for my daughter and we heard a crash outside on the patio. When we first looked out (since it's a glass top) we didn't notice anything. Then my daughter looked down and we saw the glass top had shattered in a thousand pieces. We are fortunate that no one or thing was anywhere near the table or they would have been injured.

Now I think I need to replace the table altogether before my family gets hurt and I have to clean a mess like all of the others have. This is very disconcerting and I am beyond disappointed to learn that Martha Stewart has taken no action to correct the prolbem or replace peoples tables. I have been an avid reader of her magazines and have made purchases of many items of her's from K-Mart and Macy's. I will not shop at K-Mart or buy Martha Stewart porducts until this issue is handled responsibly by them. The set was about $700 in total.

We have not dealt with anyone what happened to us was on Saturday July 19, 2008. We were haveing a family get together there are only six of us and lucily my granddaughter was not set at the table when the turn table part of a Martha Stewart glass table top shattered at the time there were four of us sitting around the table when it shattered. No one was hurt but when my granddaughter came out onto the deck like she always does bare foot she ended up with several shattered peice of glass in her foot before we thought to say not to come out bare foot. We have had the table for about 4 years and use it every summer and nothing ever happened until this year. So if anyone else has a table older than 2 or 3 year still be watchful because it still can happen

i puchased a martha stewart patio set.i was sitting at it and the glass top exploded. it was onley 2 years old seems to me these should be replaced with better quality glass

A Martha Stewart Melrose patio table with a glass top broke into thousands of pieces. Other than a minor cut it caused no major personal harm. I bought it to replace another one just like it which shattered for no apparent reason. I thought that it was a fluke. This one did the same.

I purchased Martha Stewart outdoor Patio Furniture approximately 3 years ago. The chairs ripped a couple of months ago and I could live with that, however, yesterday, the tempered glass top explored sending glass shards all over my patio. Luckily, we are not sitting at the table at the time this happened.

Purchased a Martha Stewart patio set and the glass top exploded. No evidence of it being hit. The table is anchored to the patio so it cannot tip over. I see alot of complaints on this web site of other people this happened to. I also heard a Disc Jockey in Philadelphia talking about this on the radio that this happened to his table also. I think Martha Stewart should reimburse the high cost we paid for these tables.

I purchased a Martha Stewart Melroe Patio table and the table top shattered into a million pieces. No one was near the table, it was early morning & I was getting ready for work

I bought the entire Victorian Patio furniture from K-Mart in May of 2002 or 2003.When I went out on our screen in porch, I found our glass top coffee table shattered into a million pieces.I'm very disappointed to see that it has happen to a lot of other people but yet not heard anything about this situation on any consumer report.

Martha Stewart Outdoor furniture set - table w/ lazy susan and 5 chairs - purchased from K Mart in 2005. Glass table top shattered while being stored. Not in use at the time, apparently shattered June 2008 - no cause.

The Victorian Patio set is very poorly made. I bought the entire set, the table, 5 chairs, 2 rockers, loveseat, coffee table, swing, and chaise lounge chair. Our set has rusted terribly,even after being stored, our coffee table glass exploded and shattered into a million pieces and every cushion has shredded. Imagine the horror in getting the cushions out of storage and going to pick one up and your fingers going completely through the fabric. I am very disappointed in the not only the product but the fact that the company will not stand behind it's product!

Glass patio table top shattered while I was removing the umbrella.

We purchased a Martha Stewart Patio set from K-mart the summer of 2006, it was quite exspensive but figured we would have it for some time. In the spring of 2007, not even a full year of having the furniture the glass table top shattered, the umbrella came down and the pole bent in half. We were not certain on how this happened as we were not outdoors at the time.

glass top on patio table exploded and shattered. thank goodness no one got injured. can it be replaced by company and how safe would another glass table be? this could have been a serious disaster.

We have no idea what happened. I woke up to check the table to make sure it was clean and it was shattered except for the lazy susan portion of this Martha Stewart table.

Just over a year ago we purchased a Martha Stewart five chair patio set with a glass table top at a local Kmart store. This morning (July, 2008) we discovered the glass table top had exploded into little pieces on the ground below the table, on the chairs, and on our deck. We are fortunate that it happened when we were not sitting at the table. We discovered the manufacturer and Kmart have known about the glass top patio furniture's history of exploding for years and yet they continue to produce and sell it to unsuspecting people.

We bought Martha Stewart outdoor furniture 2 years ago. The plastic part that holds the glass in the table are breaking. What can I do to fix this before someone seriously gets hurt?

The table top of my patio furniture shattered. i looked online to find out who to contact regarding this matter and see the there is no one that is going to do anything. Martha Stewart does not comment. JRA filed bankruptsy and KMart does not honor the warranty.
