Martha Stewart Outdoor Furniture Reviews

I have had Martha Stewart Patio Set which I purchased from Kmart in 1995; this morning I heard a loud sound from my deck and looked outside and saw that my glass table was scattered into pieces. Nothing hit it or fell on it. Thank God there was no one around at the time.

We purchased a Martha Stewart Outdoor Patio set back in June 2002 from KMart. This past June, 2008, the glass table top completely shattered while it was sitting outside in the backyard. Luckily, my 2 year old daughter was asleep in the house and not playing out there at the time like she normally is. There must be some way to be compensated for this expensive ($500+) patio set! Last year I also filed a complaint about this same patio set because the arms and legs were rusting away. But, unlike that, the set is completely unusable and it also caused a lot of worry and aggravation.

He said he hardly even touched the edge of the plastic O ring that is supposed to protect the table.

I purchased this set in 2000. In 2003 our glass shattered for no apparent reason. Since the Kmart in our location had closed, I contacted the Kmart in LA. They did still carry the collection, however the color had changed. The woman at the store agreed to give me a new table top. Since it did not match our table my husband and I took the frame off and put ours on the glass.

On July 4, 2008 before people started to arrive for our barbecue, I went outside and my patio table was shattered. This also happened to my mother in law's table last year. The weather was only 75 degrees and we had a nice breeze. This glass table should not have shattered. I have reported this to Kmart Customer Care and I am not happy about it. This table is not even 3 years old. I will never buy another Martha Stewart product ever again or recommend this product to anyone.

The patio furniture rusted right away and the paint peeled off. The fabric started tearing away for no reason and we hardly even sat on them. We replaced them for a hefty cost and then this year the glass table exploded and shattered to pieces.

Today 6/28/08 we looked out our living room table at our pool deck to see our Martha Stewart Victoria Collection Patio Table shattered. When I contacted Kmart they said, This does happen, but the glass is not under warranty. I was shocked to find that so many other people had the same thing happen to them. We have had this table for a few years!

We got the Martha Stewart "Garden Amelia" patio furniture, with the pressed-leaf design etched into the glass top, as a gift, so I don't know exactly what store it was purchased from. We have had the set for about a year and a half. It exploded yesterday evening, showering broken glass everywhere. Luckily, our grandchilderen were not outside, however our two small dogs were, and it was quite upseting trying to see if they were injured.

I bought the Amelia Island patio set at meijer in June With a few weeks we found the glass table completly shattered and all over our patio. When I started researching I found a brand called Amelia ISland sold the summer before at K-mart under the Martha Stewart name has had many problems that are the same as what happened to my set

Purchased in 6/06 Martha Stewart Victorian Outdoor Collection including umbrella and swing w/canopy. Whole set was not cheap quality extremely poor, have no umbrella,canopy or cusions material ripped on its own and all furniture is rusty.glass on table shattered on its own, have metal units frames left.

I too bought an outdoor set consisting of a glass top table and four chairs in 2004. The glass top shattered for what seemed like no reason while I was taking an umbrella out of the center of the table in 2007. It didn't occur to me to contact Kmart (never had a good experience in the past with them) or the manufacturer. It was too expensive to replace the glass top (more than the cost of the table), so I just have the four chairs and no table now.

I purchased Martha Stewart patio furniture in 2002. The lazy susan turntable exploded into thousands of pieces during a thundurstorm. It wasn't hit.

We bought a Martha Stewart patio set at K-Mart 6 years ago. Today, I heard an unexplainable noise and went outside to see that the table top had shattered into small pieces. It was not cracked, there was nothing that could have made this happen. The unbrella, which was down, was still standing in the middle and the six chairs were around the table with small chunks of glass around the base of the table and metal unbrella stand. My husband and adult son are cleaning it up right now and I got on the internet to see about a replacement table and found information that Martha Stewart brand table tops shatter.

I bought a Martha Stewart patio set last year. While setting on the patio with no one withend 10 feet the table just exploded into millions of pieces. When i started doing research as to how to replace it,i find that i'm not the only one with this problem.

We too have Martha Stewart patio furniture, and until the day the patio table top exploded, our only complaint would've been peeling and cracking paint with rust underneath. However, now we have the frame of a table and can't use it. I would hope that this issue is resolved in a fair manor, and that the right thing is done.

My glass table top shattered while I was sitting at it for no reason. I was stunned and just sat there covered in glass. Martha Stewart collection. What a scarry experience. I am so thankful that no one else was over as I use my deck quite frequently.

My family and I attended my sons Graduation Ceremony on May 26th 2008, and to our surprise, when we arrive home, My Martha Stewart Table was shattered into tiny pieces. We purchased this product less then 2 years ago. I need to know what I can do about this issue.

I, too had a Martha Stewart collection patio set with a beautiful glass topped table with a leaf print, which shattered unexpectedly on my screened porch in July several years ago. I am not looking for compensation. I replaced the table, but thought the circumstance was very odd.

I bought two patio sets from K-Mart, Martha Stewart's collection. While the tables were covered with high quality furniture covers, and nobody outside, one of the table tops shattered, looking like ice on my deck. I cleaned it up, and was stupid enough to buy another one, to match the existing one. This one shattered under the same conditions!

Our 2 year old, 6 person glass table from Martha Stewart exploded last week. We thought it was just a freak accident, but one of my friends sent me your website. I am astonished!

We just had part of our Martha Stewart patio top shatter - my Grandchildren were outside but fortunately no one was hurt. The furniture is no holding up to the weather - we keep it in our shed or covered in the winter months - the surface is rusting. This wasn't the most expensive outdoor furniture we could have bought but it supposedly had a good warranty. It was purchased at K-Mart - should I contact them?

We have (had) a Martha Stewart patio set, purchased at K-Mart, that included a glass top table with lazy susan, chairs, cushions and umbrella. We have had it for three years and always took great care of the set (storing it during the cold months, cleaning, etc.). The set was expensive and we thought we would have it for years to come. We loved using this set up until yesterday, when out of the blue, the glass table top spontaneously shattered into a million pieces on our deck. Fortunately, no one was injured but it took many hours to clean the shattered glass from the deck, chairs and yard.

I too have a shattered Martha Stewart Patio table. Last sunday, Father's day, our children and grandchildren had dinner at the table. After everyone went in I went about my usual routine of putting away my umbrella and cushions. I went into the garage to get the martha stewart cover to protect the table and before my eyes suddenly the entire table top shattered. It fell to the concrete into thousands of pieces. I stood frozen trying to comprehend what and how this happened. Then I Cried!

I purchased a Martha Stewart patio set several years ago, the Victoria Collection, the table had a pressed glass leaf design. Well, on 6/20/08 the table shattered in a million pieces for no apparent reason. The clean up was very difficult, not to mention several cuts from the tiny pieces of glass. After further research, I see that I am not the only person that this has happened to. Has Kmart or the Martha Stewart Co made any attempt to correct this ongoing problem, or compensate the consumers involved? Please advise. Thank you

my table top bar just exploded one day sending shards for glass everywhere. my dog did recieve a cut on her paw before I could get out there to clean it up.

The glass on my patio table that was bought quite a few years ago shattered into pieces. We heard a loud crash and found that the table is a total loss.

We are one of the families who have experienced a shattered glass table purchased from Kmart in 2001 under the Martha Stewart Brand. Just happened to us last night with no warning. I was looking on the internet to see if glass could shatter under heat of 105 because I could think of no other explanation when I found your site. The table pictured is the exact table I have!

We have a patio set from the Martha Stewart collection with a tempered glass top. It is approximately 4 or 5 years old. The entire top of the table just collapsed into itself and shattered into thousands of pieces for no apparent reason or cause. The temperature is only about 70 degrees and nothing hit it. Luckily, my daughter had just been out on the deck, but had just come in before we heard the loud noise and the shattered table top. When we went out to look at it, the pieces were still jumping and continuing to break into smaller pieces. It was very frightening and the thought of what could've happened if we had been sitting there was even more frightening.

Martha Stewart glass top table, purchased three years ago. In May of 2008 without any provocation, the glass shattered into a million pieces. I still have the frame while I'm looking to replace the table. Unfortantely, I just spent the money on new cushions and an umbrella or I would have scraped the entire set.

The glass tabletop of my Garden Melrose glass table purchased in 2004 from KMart shattered into a million pieces on my patio. The set was stored in the winter and maintained very well. This was very disappointing as we bought the umbrella, bar high bar chairs and 6 table chairs to have the complete set and now we are without the table.

I purchased at K-Mart a glass top patio table from the Martha Stewart Collection. Came home from work to find the glass shattered for no apparent reason. The table has been well cared for - no abusive treatment. Very disappointed at the loss - not to mention the additional expense I will now incur in order to replace it. The replacement will not be from K-Mart or Martha Stewart Collection.

I purchased a Martha Stewart patio set in 2002 and within 6 months, the table shattered into a million pieces. I called and the company told me that the warranty didn't cover wind damage (although there wasn't high winds) and I was out of luck.

This is another complaint among many of the dangers associated with the glass top of Martha Stewart Patio Furniture. What I thought was an isolated incident, I've since learned is another case of Martha Stewart glass patio tops exploding into shards of glass. I find it unconscionable to know that the store continues to market this furniture despite the plethora of complaints citing the same incident.

Our patio table was completely shattered. I didn't hear anything, but went out to sit at the table and it was all shattered

I purchased the Martha Stewart patio set which included the patio table and coffee table in August 2000. The table shattered into a million pieces about 1 1/2-2 years after I purchased it. It shattered outside the warranty and I was not able to replace it. I still have the coffee table and I'm concerned that it might shatter too.

Bought a Martha Stewart patio set approximately five weeks ago,tabletop shattered and broke for no apparent reason, leaving my deck a huge mess with little pieces of glass all over it

We purchased a Martha Stewart table, at the end of Summer in 2005, for approx $400. One evening, in May of 2006, my family heard a loud crash outside. We went out to our back deck & there was just shattered glass, where there was once a table.

June 7th by Martha Steward Victoria Bar Table exploded for into a million peices.

The top is secured to the aluminum frame with a series of clamps that use two cross-tip screws each. What may be happening is that as the glass and the metal frame heat up during the day they expand at different rates, causing one to pull against the other. I loosened up each one of the clamp screws until the clamps just slip around a bit. This does not appear to affect the stability of the top, at least on the frame I purchased (bloomington collection). I accept no responsibility for any trouble you might incur from employing this suggestion, expressed or implied, it is simply what I did on my own table.

We purchased the Amelia Outdoor dining set which came with a table and 5 chairs. We purchased the umbrella separately. One afternoon, the table exploded absolutely without provocation. There was no one outside, no one on the deck other than possibly a small bird. The glass was everywhere, took us hours to clean it all up. The store no longer sells the table and has offered no financial restitution nor a replacement. We're stuck with 5 chairs and an umbrella and a table frame after spending over $500 on this set.

I purchased an entire set of Martha Stewart Amelia Island patio furniture for my new covered front porch about 3 1/2 years ago. This included a dining table with lazy susan (beautiful etched glass with a leaf design) & five chairs, a sofa, 4 rocking chairs, coffee table (same etched glass top), 2 chaise lounge chairs, and a side table (same etched glass top). This was quite a large monetary purchase. Last summer, while I was at work, my dining table shattered into a million pieces for no apparent reason. My mother (who lives in the house on the property next to me) heard the noise from her porch, and came over to my house to investigate the noise. She was shocked when she discovered the mess on my porch! Thank goodness no one was sitting at the table when it happened! But WHAT A MESS!

On Tues 6/10/08, my husband went to take the umbrella out of the patio table as it was becoming very windy. As he started to roll down the umbrella, the table shattered into thousands of pieces. The pieces of glass jumped around our deck and continued to jump the entire time we were cleaning up the mess. We continue to find pieces of glass on the deck almost a week later. We purchased the Martha Stuart patio set at K-Mart in 2002.

we purchased a martha stuart patio set in 2002. today we went out on the patio to find that the glass had shattered all over the patio. lucky for us that our young grandchildern were not here at the time. kmart says to go on the web site for martha stuart to complain the web site says they cannot do anything about the glass.

I purchased the Marth Stewart Victoria patio set a few years ago and about a year after I had it the glass broke. I have seen a bunch of this happeing in the news and I paid a lot of money for the set which is now usable. I still have the table but without the glass it is just taking up space.

July 10, 2008 at 10:15 p.m. I was inside the house and heard a loud WHISH sound and had no idea what it was. When I went to investigate, I found our Martha Stewart glass top patio table shattered all over our concrete patio. The next morning, I shuffled through the tiny glass pieces and found nothing which could have caused the table to break. I mentioned this to a friend and he told me about the class action suit with K-Mart over these glass top tables. We purchased a complete set (table, 6 chairs and umbrella) in 2003 when the K-Mart in LaFayette, GA was going out of business. We only used the umbrella once when we first bought the set and have kept it stored in the basement ever since.

We purchased the Martha Stewart Great Lakes Collection from Kmart (glass top dining table and 6 dining chairs) in 2002. Just this weekend, we were sitting at the table and it exploded for no reason.

I purchased patio furniture designed by Martha Stewart about 2 years ago. Just a couple of months ago the round glass table shattered. I have no small children or any vandalism on my property. The glass table shattered without cause. When I called Kmart to ask how I could get glass replaced. I was told that the company that made my set went bankrupt.

We bought a Martha Steward patio set from K Mart this happened about 4 years ago at any rate the table top exploded with out any cause . The table was located under a covered patio. I do have a couple of pieces of the glass if it is needed as proof

I purchased the Santa Barbara Dining Collection Set back on 05/21/2006. We used it all of that summer, and it was covered over the winter to be used again the following spring. Little did we know that we would not be enjoying the table for long. In September of 2007 we heard a tremendous crash outside, when we got to our deck we realized that our barely 1 1/2 year old table had just shattered. We were shocked to see all of the glass everywhere and yet grateful that no one got hurt.This took us so long to clean up, all of the little glass pieces were stuck in between the deck boards and needed to be picked out one by one.

Patio table purchased over 5 years ago recently had glass spontaneously shatter, as reported in a recent ConsumerAffairs article

My Martha Stewart patio table exploded into a million pieces. What makes matters worse is, this is the second table I purchased after the first one exploded into a million pieces and K-Mart would not replace. My wife and I love the table and it octagon shape because it fit so many people and didn't take up as much deck space as a standard large patio table. They only problem is the evr exploding glass table top!

Our Martha Stewart Augusta Table glass top shattered on a hot day (6/9/08), without known cause.

I had purchased a Martha Stewart table and chairs for our deck 3 years ago. This past weekend my husband, my 7 year old son and myself were eating dinner on it. My husband and son went into the house after we were done eating and I stayed out to sit and relax. Thank God my son went into the house because not even 1 minute later, the glass just shattered. It sounded like an explosion. My feet and legs were under the table. There were glistening shards of glass all over my legs. My feet were in the brunt of the glass.

Our Martha Stewart brand glass-top table exploded for no reason just before midnight 6/9/08. About $500 for the table. The pool deck is cement, so the glass shards didn't damage the surface. Luckily my kids weren't nearby where they'd have been injured, or I'd be a LOT angrier than I am, now.

Martha Stewart Collection Patio Table exploded and shattered out of nowhere yesterday. I was shocked to read everyone else's complaints regarding the same thing and that these products are still on the market and not recalled. Luckily, noone was the near the table when it exploded. After cleaning up the shattered glass all over my deck and below the deck where my dog likes to hang out, my husband and I noticed that the center of the table's construction is higher than the sides, so of course, a flat piece of glass would break. Shame on Martha Stewart for not doing something about these defective tables!!!

My glass table shattered. Now I do not have a top for the table. Also, the paint is peeling of the chairs.

I took picures and still can't believe what happened.

I bought the Martha Stewart oblong patio table, with umbrella, and 6 chairs. One day it just shattered into a million pieces. Glass everywhere. We were so concerned about the glass someone might pick up on their bare feet out by the pool, not to mention our pets. It took hours and 3 of us to clean up. It was the weirdest sound and to see it happen. K-Mart won't do any thing, most people said just buy a new set or table. I haven't priced the replcement table top yet, don't know if can be ordered.

I was looking for a glass replacement top for my Martha Stewart outdoor dining table because mine had shattered one day from no apparent incident. Imagine my surprise to come across this website and see that I am not alone. I was investigating having a glass company replace it and they told me to look for the manufacturer and see if I could buy a replacement cheaper. I think maybe I should steer clear and buy a different table altogether.

In 2001 I purchased the 6-chair and table Montecito outdoor furniture set from the local K-Mart store. Just this week I moved the set from my garage to the deck for the season.

When I returned home and looked at the deck, I was shocked to see my table top looking like a pile of ice on the deck.

I bought a Martha Stewart Patio furniture table with 5 chairs and a lazy susan. Today, my 4 year old came to me and said mommy, a lot of ice fell on the table outside. I went out to see what she was talking about and to my disbelief, the entire glass tabletop is absolutely shattered into a million pieces on my patio for no apparent reason. No unusual weather, nor anything falling from above to shatter the glass. We were sitting at the table about an hour prior to this happening. Thank God we were inside when it shattered.

My Martha Stewart Victoria Collection (purchased at K Mart in 2005) patio table shattered out of the blue. It has ruined my deck. The glass is embedded.

I have replaced the top on my Martha Stewart outdoor glass table with 4 tops and all 4 have shattered. First the table shattered in July of 2005 about 3 weeks after purchase, purchased a replacement as it matched the rest of the furniture thinking it was a fluke and was just ours. The replacement shattered in Septemeber of that year, and they sent 2 replacement tops, that arrived in mid-november of that year. The first replacement lasted until late summer 2006, and now finally the 4th top has shattered in June 2008. They need to accept the fact they a horrible product and give a refund to all the customers.

Purchased the Melrose table and chair set and we were using it for the very first time today for a graduation party. While people were sitting at the table it just exploded into a million pieces. A young girl was cut on the leg and another woman was cut on her foot. Glass everywhere--it sure did ruin the party. I thought it was just a freak accident. I was surprised when I found the web site with 73 pages of complaints with the Marta Stewart products and am shocked that it has not been recalled.

my glass table just shattered for no reason

I heard a loud sound, upon investigating i discovered the glass of the patio table shattered into pieces. I called the store and was told to log on to MarthaStewart.com

I purchased a Martha Stewart Patio set from K-mart and the glass shattered all of a sudden, at the time I thought it was hit by something but it was not,it shattered into tiny pieces and just fell for no apparent reason. I am trying to get confisated for the table and would like to know how to go about it.

Glass flew as far away as 10 feet..hundreds of pieces. My husband's hands and legs were cut by flying pieces. It took a very long time to clean up, especially on a deck. We had to vacuum in between the boards to suck out the small pieces. After sweeping and vacuuming the area, we damp mopped the boards because of the extremely tiny pieces still left on the boards. you could see them glistening in the sun.

I went out on my patio and found a million small fragments of glass, piled and scattered like snow and snowflakes. I had been on the patio two hours earlier and the table was in tact. Now, there was the lazy susan on the frame of the table; the main glass has shattered for no apparent reason. I was very perplexed as I could find no reasonable explanation for the broken table top. Not only was the table top shattered, but the umbrellas was broken at the crank shaft. I surmised that the wind had blown the umbrella over and that could possibly be the cause of the breakage.

I purchases a Martha Stewart patio set (Glass patio table with a glass lazy susan-type top, five cushioned chairs and unbrella and stand) about four years ago. Last September (2007) I found the lazy susan part of the table completely shattered. I looked for a branch or something that could do such damage but found nothing. Now I heard on the news and read on-line that there are others who have experienced the same thing. This is a potentially dangerous situation and I would like to know if there is a re-call on this product. Thank You

We bought a 7 piece Martha Stewart patio set and late last summer the table top exploded into a million pieces. I called a glass company and they said it will cost $280.00 to replace the glass! There were small pieces of glass everywhere. It took over an hour to pick up all the tiny pieces. We are still finding them.

This purchase was not inexpensive. I looked at several different retailers and thought I was getting the best for my money. To pay over $500 for a table and chairs that is now useless to me is very difficult. Their customer service 800 number is a joke. They tell you there is a high call volume, no kidding seeing how their products are useless, and then disconnect you. The online link they give in their printed material either does not exist or has changed and you can't contact these people. I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

Work was being done on my street including blasting. My table was fine one minute, and ten minutes later I went out back and the table was shattered all over the patio. I assumed it was because of the blasting and had a MassHighway employee come look at it. She gave me the information to fill out a complaint, which I did. MassHighway refused to compensate me. I had another glass table out back that was fine (same kind)but I am worried that the same thing will happen to that.

I, too, purchased the Martha Stewart Victorian collection patio furniture set, umbrella and matching chaise lounge. The legs on every chair and the table are rusted. The arms on the lounge chair are rusting and peeling and the cushions are completely faded and dry rotted.

The glass shattered on my Martha Stewart patio table after owning it for 6 weeks. There was no apparent reason.

We purchased the Martha Stewart patio table and chairs from Kmart about 5 years ago. Last night there was an explosion in the patio, only to find out that the glass table top had shattered. This is dangerous. This table had almost zero sun exposure, as it rested in a completely covered patio. I don't get it?

We bought a Martha Stewart Patio set from Kmart in 2003. We keep it on our enclosed patio. On May 27, 2008 at 3:30 am the glass table top shattered for no reason into tiny pieces. There was nothing even on the table and it hasn't been hot yet. This could have happened during our Memorial Day BBQ just hours before this, when we were all sitting around the table.

Today my Martha Stewart Living glass topped patio table spontaneously exploded all over my deck. The sound was like a shot it was so loud. My children were playing in the yard only about 50 feet away, and had just left the deck where the table was. I am happy that no one was hurt, we use that deck all the time in the nicer weather.

I was searching the internet to see if I could buy a replacement table because today our glass patio table shattered into a million pieces when I came across this site. It seems that there have been many problems with Martha Stewart Patio Sets. After one year, two cushions started shredding as well as the cushion for the lawn swing. I now have a broken glass table top, two chair cushions and a lawn swing cushion that are so shredded they can not be used. What kind of action can I take to get this problem addressed?

Purchased a Martha Stewart Amielia Island Patio table with a glass top. On 5-26-08 table top shattered. Looked on K-Mart's Web site and yours to find K-Mart or Martha Stewart are doing anything about this. The only damage was to the glass top.

We have a Martha Stewart patio set that when my wife put a plastic cup on two days ago the glass top shattered into a million pieces.

Today i was sitting at my new martha stewart,patio set table drawing pictures with my two young ones when all of a sudden the glass table top shattered in a million piece glass went every where. it took me 2 hrs to pick up the pieces which i still find slivers of glass as far away as 10 feet never so anything like it.

My kids were outside playing when the glass table exploded into a thousand pieces. Some went onto to my son which he had a few scratches from the glass.

I bought a Martha Stewart Garden Bloomington patio set from Kmart Spokane, Washington not more than 6-8 weeks ago. Three days ago we heard a loud noise outside and ran out to find that the table had shattered all over the patio. We were just thankful that it happened at a time when we were not outside. Just two days before that we had our family over including our three small granddaughters who had been playing near the table.

Purchased Martha Stewart Everyday garden Montecito collection, Table, 6 Chairs, 2 Lounge Chairs, Bar, and two bar stools. Collection states steel frames prevent rust - not true, all pieces have areas of rust. Also, fabric on chairs/lounge chairs have ripped after very limited use. It will cost approx $36 per chair and more to replace lounge chairs which I understand is impossible to do since they were originally put together by machine.

We purchased an expensive Victoria Patio Collection from Martha Stewart at K-mart. Our table, as many others have, shattered without anything being on it and no one sitting there. The chairs also began rusting almost immediately after we purchased it, all in the bends of the arms. The cushions tear easily at the seams and our umbrella has ripped. Glass all over the patio and lawn. I have children that won't be able to take their shoes off. We can't afford another set for awhile.

Yesterday, May 21, 2008 My Martha Stewart glass Patio table exploded, spraying tiny pieces and shards of glass all over my deck. I am certainly happy we weren't eating at it at the time as I am sure someone would have been injured!! We intend to go and inform K-Mart of this happening, but from what I read at this site nothing is ever done about it and they are still selling the tables! Well not to me again and not to anyone of my friends or acquaintances, as I will certainly warn them.

On May20th 2008 i came home to find my outdoor martha Stewart olympa table sharted. have to buy new table

I bought a Martha Stewart patio set from Kmart last summer 7/07. We used it all summer, stored it indoors, have been enjoying it this spring,.....until yesterday 5/19/08. When I arrived home from work I found my table top in a million pieces. It was all over everything. The chairs, the deck was covered in glass, and it also fell thru the cracks of the deck and over the side of the deck into the kids sand box and a loose rock and flagstone walkway under the deck. What a mess!!! After the inital shock, it took me 4 hours to clean the mess. I had to use a shopvac and move every single rock out of the way to suck up the glass that had fallen through.

I bought martha stewart patio furniture in 2004

Purchased Martha Stewart Patio Furniture in 2004. They were clearanced. I bought two round glass tables with 2 umbrellas and 10 chairs.

Today the glass on our 4-year-old Martha Stewart table spontaneously shattered. I went online to find out how to find a replacement and I ran across this site, a few news stories and the class action lawsuit. I am completely floored that there has been no recall and I have not heard one peep about this. What will have to happen before these are recalled? Will someone have to die? Be maimed? A child hurt? This is completely ridiculous!!

We purchased so many pieces of the Victoria collection of Martha Stewarts. I have just read over the complaints on the table tops bursting for no reason. I have only had these pieces since Aug of 2006. Should I worry no that my table top is going to burst?

My Martha Stewart table shattered for no appartent reason. It took 3 hours to clean up, and I am still worried that my kids could step on glass I may have missed. I was shocked when I read that this has happened to many consumers before and it is still on the market!!!

I purchased a Martha Stewart patio set in 2005. Last year a heard a loud noise and ran to the door to find that them glass top on my Martha Stewart Patio set had shattered. I looked around to see if any object may and hit it , but I could not find any objects around. The quality of this glass is way below standards and is unacceptable.

Purchased Martha Stewart's Victoria patio table and chairs. The glass table top shattered yesterday which as I have recently researched is a common problem with this set. My husband had been out and just happened to notice the table was totally shattered. Nobody had been out there - it just seemed to happen on its own.

MSE (Martha Stewart) table and set of 6 patio chairs was purchased in July/Aug. 2004. Table is always moved inside during fall for protection from winter elements. Nevertheless the paint has rusted in many areas. After having been out on mild spring days for approximately 1 week., the glass table top shattered. No one was home to attest to the cause, but no foreign objects were present nor were any other items on the patio disturbed.

I own a patio set purchased from KMart in 2004 and the table top exploded yesterday 5-17-2008. I heard this loud noise in my back yard and when I looked outside the glass was everywhere. It is a Martha Stewart Patio set. I am so relieved it did not happen the day before because I had all 11 of my grandchildren over and that could have been devestating. I told my son about this and he said he saw an episode on the news pertaining to Patio sets glass just shattering for no reason and he said it was my set. I took 7 pictures of it because I just couldn't even believe it.

Just another person who purchased the Martha Stewart outdoor dining table. I purchased it three weeks ago, about April 22, 2008 and on May 18 the table exploded into a million shards. I wish I had read the reviews on this website prior to purchasing such a shoddy and potentially dangerous product.

Our Martha Steward fern pattern hexagon patio table's glass top shattered from no apparent reason. Fortunately no one was using the table at the time. The table and chairs were bought form the Buford, GA K-Mart in November of 2007. The glass was broken into thousanda of small parts and took two of us 1 1/2 hours to clean up.

I have a patio table made of glass. It is a Martha Stewart table from Kmart. It shattered without warning and for no reason. I am othewise satisfied so far with the chairs, but I can't beleive that table shattered without warning and now I don't know how to get a replacement for the top.

I heard a loud crash outside my house today at approximately 8 AM this morning, 05/17/08 and when I looked toward the noise I saw that the glass top of my Martha Stewart patio table had shattered into a pile of glass pieces. I bought it from KMart but when I called they said too bad, I should call Martha Stewart at [a number they gave] which was [a] drug company.

Martha Stewart glass table shatted in the sun blowing shards of glass all over my patio. The table was just under 2 years old...

The glass on the Martha Stewart round patio table suddenly shattered into a thousand pieces all over the patio about noon on 5-13-2008. Nothing was on the table at the time. It has to have been defective. It was the model with the lazy susan.

i purchased a Martha Steward outdoor pation furniture set. We went outside one morning the the table top glass was in tiny pieces as though it had exploded.

I brought an Martha Stewart Glass Patio Set in 2006 from Kmart the glass scattered into a million peices glass everywhere over the deck it took days to get it up.

I purchased the Martha Stewert Ameila Island patio ensemble last July 2007, from our local KMart. I came home this evening, May 12, 2008, and the table was shattered into a million pieces. The table was fine when I left but three hours later it had completely shattered. There has been no significant change in outside temperatures, the table sits in the shade for most of the day. There was no evidence of anything hitting the table, it just simply shattered.

I bought two Martha Stewart glass top tables (outdoor patio funiture) They shattered without a reasonable explaination. (I just now read that it has happened to others...)I bought the tables at K-mart. I complained but the 90 day return policy had expired...

I purchased a Martha Steward Living table with 6 chairs from KMart just two summers ago. This May starts my third summer with the furniture and already it is rusting. The cushions are in horrible shape even though I put them in my garage for the winter.

I purchased two Martha Stewart glass tables with 5 chairs each. Also have the chaise lounge and coffee table with two rocking chairs. I noticed that the paint was chipping horribly but last week one of the glass tables shattered on it's own.

I guess we are fortunate that we have had our Martha Stewart fern leaf design patio table for several years before it exploded like so many have described. This table has never been used with an umbrella so stress from other sources could not have been the cause. Not only is this disappointing but a potentially dangerous situation. Thank goodness that no one was close to our table when it shattered but glass shards remain embedded between many of our decking boards.

We purchased the Martha Stewart patio set(rectangular table and six chairs)late in 2005. As we were setting up our deck, two, of the three, glass table panels shattered into dime-size pieces, or smaller, falling all over our deck and into the carport below. It took about 1 1/2 hours to clean up and there are still little pieces scattered about. This was not a cheap set!

The glass top table that we purchased in 2002 at K-mart a Martha Stewart table just shattered for no apparent reason. This happened today May 10. 2008. We were sitting at the table having dinner when the top just shattered all over us and the floor. No one was hurt but all food was lost.

We walked out to our Gazebo and our Martha Stewart glass table top had shattered into tiny peices at first I thought it was an isolated incident and was hoping to replace the table top when I find out that this had happened to many people.

About 3 years ago I purchased a patio table and chairs by Martha Stewart from K-mart. Two days ago, I heard a loud explosion in my back yard. When I went out to investigate, I saw that my table top had exploded into millions of pieces. I am very upset by this. The thought that I could have had my young grandchildren around the table scared me tremendously.

Purchased a Martha Stewart patio set and the glass table top has shatter on its owne The store will not replace the glass

We have the MS lawn furniture and the table glass shattered at 2AM in the morning. There was no impact to the table , no debris or fallen meteor to explain the shattered glass.

I have been reading the complaints about the Martha Stewart outdoor patio furniture. While my glass top has not exploded (yet) I do have major complaints about the umbrella, which fell apart, the cushions, which are disintegrating, and the frames, which are rusting and look horrible. This is not an old set! I was going to try and repaint them and add new cushions, but it seems I am better off buying a new set from a different manufacturer!

I purchased a garden table by Martha Stuart at K-Mart with an umbrella & 6 chairs about a year and a half ago. Last year the table burst into shards dropping down under my deck. I still have the frame and just learned I'm one of hundreds of peple who have had this occur. Why hasn't there been a recall? Is there anything I can do?

My glass top on my Martha Stewart porch furniture table shaddered for no reason. Could not get help from the store where I purchaced it.(KMART)

3 years ago my family bought a 6 chair w/ Glass table and cushions, from K-Mart. Last July 07 the glass shatter as we where getting ready for a bar-b-que. Still have the frame and all chairs and cushions had to go buy a sheet of ply wood and table cloth for the evening.

I saw the report on Channel 3 news regarding the Martha Stewart glass tables that shattered. Our table shattered in the summer of 2006. These tables should be recalled and payment should be made to the many individuals that purchased these tables. I still have the frame and this table should be replaced by KMart. I would be interested in participating in a class action lawsuit in this matter. Thank you for anything you can do to help.

About 3 years ago I purchased a Martha Stewart Patio Set including a table with lazy susan, matching chairs, chaise lounges and coffee table. Last July the glass on the coffee table just shattered when no one was near it and nothing was on it, when I complained to the store I was basically called a liar and told that atble was on sale.

We had one of those tempered glass patio tables that shattered on our deck last Spring. Luckily no one was outside when it happened but cleanup was a huge chore.It looked like small bits of ice were everywhere. We thought it was an isolated incident and bought a different kind of table as replacement until we saw a story about this on the news.

I had a Martha Steward patio table explode one fall day. No one was at the table at the time. I just bought a new table and I'm wondering if I should take it back? I bought it at K-Mart but do not have the box it came in.

We purchased martha stuart patio furniture victorian sets, this included sofa coffee table two rockers round glass table five chairs and a swing. After the first year the paint was oxidized and discolored.

Our Marth Stewert outdoor glass table top exploded into thousands of small pieces during the evening of April 30, 2008. Fortunately nobody was using the table at the time. The table was near our pool which still had a winter cover over it - I am cooncerned however that when I open the pool there may be glass slivers from the table that have penetrated through the cover. I will probably only learn if glass is in the pool when I open it and vacume for the first time in a couple of weeks. Should this occur the glass will likely penetrate and ruin my filters. Whatever glass that I am unable to vacume up will certainly damage my pool liner. There is glass in my yard as well. Someone will eventually step on slivers causing injury.

I also had a Martha Stewart Victoria oval coffee table to shatter for no good reason. I left for work one morning in March 2008 and to my surprise I found glass covering my front porch. My problem now is that i can not find a table to go with the rest of my victoria collection. I may have to buy a whole new patio set. It will not be martha stewart

After 5 years of owning the Amelia outside set, the glass table top just shattered this April 14, 2008. It was the craziest thing and my wife still thinks I broke it.

i purchased an outdoor patio set (glass top table) went into the yard one morning and found the table top has shattered into a thousand pieces.

my martha stewart patio table with fern design inside the glass shattered into a million pieces today. fortunately, no one was sitting at it when it shattered; however there is glass everywhere and i'm sure we'll be picking it out of our hands and feet for months to come.

On April 27, 2008 my husband and I were sitting in our kitchen and heard a loud crash. We were astonished to see that the glass top on our Martha Stewart Patio Set just shattered in thousands of pieces....it was just terrible. Glass shattered all over our pool area and patio, amazingly no one was outside or hurt at the time, but this was a terrible experience!

I just founf this website, I could not believe it, the glass table on the Melrose set exploded into tiny little pieces, the chairs have slowly being geting rusted, It exploded just two weeks ago.. unable to find glass replacement I would need to get a new set, it would not be MArtha Stewart's. I bought the set a few years back.

My wife and I purchased a Martha Stewart Victoria Collection outdoor glass leaf etched patio table with 5 chairs sometime early spring 2005 from K-mart. I went out one day to have my coffee and read my paper like I always do, to find the table in a million pieces leaving only the frame with the lazy susan in tact. There was glass everywhere. We have swept time and time again and weeks later we are still finding glass so that we can not walk barefooted on our patio. I think it is nonsense that companys like Martha Living and K-Mart are not doing something about this concern. What if one of my young grandchildren were under the table when it shattered? I also think it is irresponsible for the Consumer Product Safety Commission not to have issued a recall on a product they knew was defective for years.

We bought the Martha Stewart Olympia furniture set in the spring of 2007. Toward the end of summer the same year the glass shattered into many peices. It was windy that day and the umbrella was up and when I was taking it out it shattered. What flimpsie stuff that had to be. I was near it and I could have gotten hurt. Glass flying all over the place. It was very hard to clean up and many of the tiny peices went thorugh the deck floor and are now mingled in the rocks below. We hope no children or pets go under it. I can't beleive that the plexiglass only lasted a few short months.

In 2006 I purchased the Martha Stewart Melrose Bar and a Martha Stewart rectangular dining table. That summer one of the glass panels of the bar shattered. I replaced it with plexiglass and continued to use it without the umbrella as I thougt maybe that was what caused it even though it wasn't windy. About a month later a second panel shattered. In addition,during the summer of 2007 the glass top of my Martha Stewart dining table shattered into what seemed like a million pieces. People were sitting at the table at the time. It's a miracle that although food and drink were lost during each episode(bar and table) nobody was hurt. Clean-up,however was a nightmare.

My wife and I bought some of the Martha Stewart patio furniture about 2 yrs ago. We have already replaced all of the cushions. they were frayed and falling apart. The metal on the chair is peeling and rusty. Also about 2 weeks ago our pation table exploded all over our deck. It took a long time to clean up. Luckily no one was hurt. Unfortunatley, we now have to replae our whole set. I think we paid about $500 for it.

We bought the Martha Stewart patio set. All the custions had to be replaced after 3 years and the table shattered last week. The whole set is rusted and looks to be in poor shape for use only during summer months !

outdoor glass patio table op tshattered with no reason.

I too had a Martha Stewart glass table top explode. I did not know what caused the problem and never considered that it was a product problem, until now. After taking care of several cuts, I disposed of the table so that no one else would be injured.

I too have a martha stewart outdoor table and the lazy susan shattered last summer.

My Martha Stewart glass top patio table (glass) exploded all over my patio. I have always kept it covered and stored in cold weather. I was surprised to learn via this site that my experience seems to be the norm, rather than unusual. I now need a new patio table, and of course, I can't afford one. Maybe Martha could contribute to the cost of a new one for me! Thanks for reading about my problem.

I bought a patio set -Martha Stewart- from Kmart. One day we were working outside, kids playing and the glass just spontaneously shattered on my 2 month old set. Thank goodness no one got hurt, but picking up the glass so no children play got cut.

Since I have cancer and would really enjoy sitting out on the swing I cannot due to its condition. Its a site for my compay to see also.

About 3 years ago we bought a Martha Stewart patio set for our lanai. On our third season the wind blew it over and the glass top broke into a million pieces. I was planning to try to replace it, but with so many people having theirs shattered for no good reason, I'm afraid to buy a replacement for fear of another bad result. What should I do?

Its not a year old yet , Its not in the weather. I have used it twice and its iooks like like i had it for 20 years. I still own money on it ! I hope the manufacter will contact me ! But I won;t hold my breath

Outdoor Martha Stewart coffee table, just shattered for no reason.

No one was outside at the time but I can only imagine the horror of this happening during a BBQ. We now have to find a replacemnt glass piece or a new set.

I bought a patio set that included 6 chairs with cushions,and the rectangular table. The matching 3 person swing with cushions and canopy and the umbrella to match as well.It being marked down 20% fall clearance. Still paying a good price for. No more than having it out side for less than 2 months of use and then stored away, and then placing it back on the deck the upcoming spring to only have that the table then shattered in may of 2006, with glass all over. I dont know what was the cause of it I thought that something had fallen down on it, but did not come to see anything to be the culprit.

I dont have a table top to use on my patio.

I bought the Martha Stewart bar harbor set and on labor day weekend, the glass shattered on the table into tiny pieces all over. Thank goodness, no one was around the table but this was etremely dangerous. I have many pieces of this set total cost approx. $1000.00 but to replace the glass would be to expensive. I am also seeing a lot of rust on the frame. To top it off, I do not even leave the set outside during the winter. The set is always stored inside our garage and covered.
