Martha Stewart Outdoor Furniture Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Fortunately no one was injured, but there was absolutely no apparent cause for it to shatter.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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.

Four of us (including my 7 year old son and 5 year old daugher) were eating lunch at our Marth Stewart glass picnic table when it suddenly exploded and shattered into many pieces. Everything just fell to the ground and there was glass pieces everywhere. We all had pieces of glass all over our legs and when we stood up, our legs began to bleed. We all had a number of cuts and scrapes all over our legs, and my 5 year old daughter received the most amount of cuts. The glass shattered into what seemed to be millions of small pieces for no apparent reason. This is a very dangerous situation that can cause serious injury to anyone that has to deal with the shattering glass.

Came home to a shattered table with NO evidence of anything hitting it! To my surprise when I went online to look up for a replacement glass for it, I found ALL these complaints from happening to people before me.

As I researched how I was going to replace my Martha Stewart exploding table - I was appalled at how many consumers had the same trouble as I. My wife and I were preparing food in our kitchen for a family picnic - when all of a sudden out on our deck the Martha Stewart (Santa Barbara) table exploded into a million pieces. I could not believe how bad it was - not only were family members arriving in 10 minutes - but there was glass EVERYWHERE.. After reading these complaints - it seems as if there was a calculated time period when all these tables got destroyed.

My mother-in-law purchased 2-years ago, a Marth Stewart patio furniture set. The glass top exploded in her backyard. The exloding glass landed in my hair, in her flower beds and all through out her lower concrete patio. When she contacted K-Mart (the seller) they acted as if they knew nothing about the expolding tempered glass. I have since printed the information and have suggested she hand deliver the information to the store manager in hopes they will assist in the replacement of the glass top.

I bought the Martha Stewart patio Bar set in 2004. After having it for 6 weeks the top of my bar shattered into a million pieces. Of course K-mart would not replace the set I just bought. I think Martha Stewart should refund everyones money for the expensive patio furniture that is now junk. Since, she is responsible for poor quality of the glass that shattered. It has to be a factory defect. It should be recalled and refunds issued.

Today, I looked out on our patio and was appalled to see our glass table top shattered. There was no evidence of anything being dropped on the table top and the 3 potted flowers on the lazy susan section were undisturbed. Went looking on the internet for options and was shocked to see so many complaints about this product. Needless to say, we will not be investing any more money in Martha Stewart products. I was going to just head to Kmart for a replacement. Thanks for saving me additional time and aggravation. Martha, this is totally unacceptable. If this is the quality of your products, you can forget about our ever looking at purchasing one of your homes.

Thankful my 3 yr. old wasn't playing out there, because the glass shot everywhere...

I went out to my patio and was shocked to see my table top in a million pieces, all over my patio floor. I had no Idea how to clean up this mess as I am 75 years old and somewhat handicapped. I was fortunate enough to have some young boys offer to clean it up for me, but now I have no table. I paid $600 for this set and that was when I was still working. Now I live on social security and I cannot afford to replace this glass. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? Please tell me what to do.

But, unlike that, the set is completely unusable and it also caused a lot of worry and aggravation.

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.

Our patio table glass shattered. Apparently this is a problem with many consumers who bought Martha Stuwart Patio furniture.

Our patio table glass shattered. Apparently this is a problem with many consumers who bought Martha Stuwart Patio furniture. No physical damage. Estimated cost to replace was $350.00

glass patio table from the amelia island collection blew up. No one was near it nor did anything fall on it it just Blew UP ! How can Martha and Kmarts get away with this?

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.
