Martha Stewart Outdoor Furniture Reviews

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.

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.

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.

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 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 also have a MS lawn set with glass Lazy Susan table. My glass exploded into thousands of pieces for no apparent reason. The set was cared for well and covered each winter. When checking with MS online, I was informed that there was no replacement for the glass, therefore, I would have to purchase a new table. After inquiring, I find that I am definitely NOT the only one this has happened to!

My husband was sitting outside last summer when he thought a shotgun blast went off! He was sitting about 9 feet from our patio table when the glass suddenly and without warning exploded! We are still picking out pieces of glass out of the cracks of our patio. The metal on the chairs and table started to rust and flake off and really turned into a safety issue. Who wants to get cut on a rusted piece of metal. The so-called quality didn't last very long. K-Mart couldn't do anything since it wasn't under warranty.

We had two Martha Stewart glass patio tables with the lazy susan in the middle. First table we kept inside the house and one day without reason, it just exploded. We replaced it with the exact same table. Tthis one we put on our deck a few weeks ago and it just exploded without reason. I saved some of the glass but I have a worthless frame and 2 sets of chairs. I would like to know if something is being done about this case and if so where does it stand at this time? Thanks for your help.

We bought a Martha Stewart Patio set in K-Mart in Franklyn, NC three years ago and stored it in our house in Highlands, NC for the winter, and it spontaneously shattered all over the floor. It was not in use, nor was anyone home at the time. I have just read that this happens often with this product and that there is a class action lawsuit. We would like to join it and be kept informed. Fortunately no one was hurt, but we have a huge mess to clean up, and we are out a patio set!

I purchased a Martha Stewart outdoor round patio table w/lazy susan. Last year the table shattered and I don't know why. K-Mart was helpful but would not warrant the item because it was a mfr defect. I could not obtain a glass top only and had to purchase the whole table again. Last night I heard a crash and went out back to find the same thing. There was nothing on or around the table that could have struck it and there is no umbrella in it. Again K-Mart will not warrant the table top. I have replaced the Gazebo overhead cover twice. After one summer, the covers began to tear. Any attempt to remove it results in disintegration (really, not just ripping but falling apart). No warranty available after 90 days.

We purchased the Martha Stewart outdoor patio dining set, and the table top shattered for no apparent reason.

We came home this week end to find out the glass top to the patio table had shattered into thousand pieces. There was no obvious wind, earthquake or ball that could have caused such a breakage. This was a real mess and dangerous for our dog. When I went online to see about a replacement, imagine my surprise to see that hundreds of others had the same experience. Mystery solved. Our table is 6 years old and it looks like there is nothing we can get from the manufacturer or Kmart so we are just going to get a new patio set from a reputable dealer.

i purchased a martha stewart outdoor furniture set from kmart. The set was beautiful. The first season I noticed the set started to pit and rust. I followed all manufacturers instructions, they said to put a coat of wax on it for the winter months. I stored the cushions in my shed when not in use. When I went to take my cushions out for the following summer they were horrible, they were fraying, discolored, a real mess. I called kmart and they said I would have to get in touch with the martha stewart company, which I did. They told me there was nothing they could do for me except if I wanted to repurchase new cushions. This set was very expensive, I cannot afford new cushions. At this point I think I am down to about 2 cushions because every time i would look outside all i would see is fluff that was coming out if the cushions. When I purchased this set I purchases the whole set including lounges, couch and cocktail table folding chairs. I also purchased 2 extra dining chairs. I am furious that martha stewart does not stand behind her products, it is terrible.

We heard a loud crash, and we thought a car had crashed; but when we looked out back on our deck, the glass table was smashed and umbrella was through the screen of the pool deck. We are out the cost of the table, and we also have to have the screen replaced, costing about $300.

I purchased the Martha Stewart Olympia collection table, and the glass top broke for no reason--into millions of pieces. Customer Service told us that was not covered by any warranty, and we would have to purchase a new one. This is a serious problem because great harm could happen to someone.

My Martha Stewart 9-piece patio glass top table exploded the other night in an enclosed, locked porch.

Just went out in the backyard with my dog and noticed our tabletop is shattered of the Martha Stewart Everyday Melrose patio set. Have had this set for not even two years. Paid a lot of money for this set and now will need to replace the glass top. May end up needing to buy a new table all together if a replacement glass top is not cost effective. There is no injury as of yet but I hope I was able to gather up all the little pieces of glass so my family and the dog do not cut themselves when walking outside.

We purchased Martha Stewart Living kitchen items, Country Table, Bar stools and 4 Windsor Chairs. One of the chairs was broken when the box was opened.This was 12/16/07. The store cannot obtain replacement chair, and also contacted MSL for help. I have also filed a NY BBB complaint to no avail. I finally contacted MSL in NY. To date, the only solution MSL can give, is to Pay to repair the new chair. CS at this company is rude and the type of people you do not want to deal with. This is a brand new wrapped chair that was broken, now they want more money from us.

Some time ago, we purchased a Martha Stewart patio set from K-Mart. A couple of weeks ago, the tempered glass disintegrated into thousands of pieces.

Can you help?

I purchased the outdoor patio set from the Martha Steward collection from Kmart less than 2 yrs ago. It is the one with etched glass and the lazy susan. I walked onto my deck to find it shattered in a million pieces for no apparent reason. I spent many hours cleaning up the mess trying to pry pieces out between my deck slats. I achieved this after many glass splinters and cuts. My question after reading about others is why are we not being compensated for this and why are they still being sold?

I purchased a 5-piece Martha Stewart patio set from K-mart about 3 years ago. On December 29th, I heard a loud noise in the backyard. The glass table top had shattered into pieces.

I purchased a Martha Stewart patio set less than 2 yrs ago. This is the glass top table with the Lazy Susan attached. Yesterday the glass top table shattered into millions of pieces. I have had no satisfaction from KMart yet. I will keep working on this. In looking at this website I see that there have been hundreds of similar complaints, some resulting in injury. Why are these defective products still being sold? Is an injury resulting in death going to finally convince KMart pull the products? Why would Martha Stewart allow her name to be used on defective products anyway?

Purchased a Martha Stewart Picnic Table (with Lazy Susan) about 4 years ago. The top just exploded this summer. We originally thought that the damage was done by vandals or by kids playing but could not find anyone in the neighborhood who knew anything about it.

I purchased a round etched patio table, Martha Stewart collection with a lazy susan. Today Dec 12, 2007 we heard a loud crashing noise from the basement of our home. We found the entire table top shattered onto the floor, with the unbroken lazy susan resting atop the frame legs of the table. We brought in the table from outside to store (in October) in our basement during the winter months for the last 6 years. It is estimated that we purchased this type of table possibly before 2000. This occurance was befuddling at best and are glad it was not being used or acting as a table for material. We have saved the broken glass and the entire susan top.

The glass lazy susan on the table top spontaneously shattered while in storage in our basement.

On Nov.15, 2007 around midnight my husband heard a sound and looked outside, and our Martha Stewart table had shattered for no reason. Luckily our dog was not sleeping under the table at that time. It had been in about the 80's that day and was not even cold out. No explanation. I started researching this and found this had been happening quite often. And they are still selling these tables.

I had a huge mess to clean up on my patio. I had to empty my fish pond and start again from scratch with getting the water cleared down and get the water suitable for fish. The big problem is not i have 6 chairs a patio umbrella and can not find a table to match them. I will never purchase Martha Stewart outdoor products again.

The glass top was not replaceable according to K-Mart and I could buy a new table for 150 dollars. There were slight cuts on the top of one persons thighs when the glass shattered. Other that this no further damage was suffered to anyone.

750 loss; several hour clean up.

Alot of the glass went into our pool. Was a mess to clean up.

There were 6 of us sitting at our Martha Stewart table eating dinner in our back yard. We had a new table cloth on the table.

We looked under the tablecloth and just the lazy susan had shattered into a million pieces.

I purchased Santa Monica collection, Martha Stewart/JRA, 7-piece patio set. After 3 years, glass table top exploded. I have all receipts and warranty information.

I also purchased a Martha Stewart patio set from Kmart. I didn't have a chance for the table top to shatter. I can't assemble the table as I have 2 left sides and have spent months pursuing Kmart, Sears and JRA manufacture. They have referred me countless times to other depts, other phone numbers, etc. Now they tell me case is closed. So here I sit with $600.00 worth of furniture I can't assemble. I know one person who had a table with no legs.

I am just another in a long line of consumers who have purchased a Martha Stewart glass patio table that shattered. We purchased a patio set a few years ago with money given to us as a gift. We really enjoyed the product our first year that we owned it. The following year i guess we started to notice that it wasn't of the quality we thought we paid for. Rust developing on metal pieces that should not have rusted etc. The final hint was the sound of the exploding top and the 2 hours involved in cleaning up glass on our wooden deck.

I purchased a Martha Stewart outdoor patio set at K-mart a couple of years ago. The glass table top shattered into a thousand pieces when the umbrella strings just gave out. This table was very expensive and I would never have expected that the glass would have shattered the way it did. The umbrella which was poorly made collapsed - not even hitting the table - and the glass shattered everywhere. Is anyone else having this problem with there patio sets from Martha Stewart? I would expect that something with her name on it would have some kind of guarantee.

The glass on our Martha Stewart table just shattered into a million pieces.

We purchase the Martha Stewart, Amelia Island Collection, patio table and chair set this year. In mid August, the glass top of the table shattered into many small pieces.

No bodily injury but glass covered the back patio and is very hard to get every shard of glass off the concrete. Also she glass went into the cushions of our chairs, which we are having to work to get clean.

Intial cost of set (one table and five chairs) was around $400. The time it took to clean up the mess was hours each time. No one was present at the first time, but the second time several children were near the table but fortunately were not injured.

Martha Stewart Glass patio table shattered on it's own last month on September 3rd, 2007. No one was using it at the time. There was nothing at all on the table at the time it shattered. This was the main piece of a $1200.00 patio set.

I purchased a Martha Stewart table set several years ago for our river house. I loved the etching on the table and the lazy susan. We stored the table and chairs indoors when we left the home never leaving them out when we were not in residence. We are having some remodeling done and our workman asked if we could leave it on the deck when we left in August. My sister stopped by recently to spend a weekend and found the table had shattered. My workman has been there almost daily and he said he knows of no one dropping anything on it...and thought maybe it was the heat that had caused the shattering! So today I was going to go see what new table I could find on-line to replace the shattered one....typed in Martha Stewart Patio Furniture and look what I found...pages of complaints on this item! Guess I'll look for a different product!

We had to dump our 20 x 40 inground swimming pool because of the dangerous shards covering its bottom. We had to refill the pool. We had to cancel our daughter's birthday party.

Have a paver patio and glass was everywhere. Went in between all the pavers making a real mess to clean up. Luckly no one was hurt. We did use a shop vac to pick up as much glass as possible. Had to go and buy sand to refill in between the pavers. I personally was upset because I spent a good dollar on this set and watched it get shattered away.

Loss of table.

Not to mention the enormous mess and having to use tweezers to get in between my board decks to get all of the glass up, now we have no table for all of our other matching furniture that we have purchased. There should be a replacement table top.

I cannot believe that I found this website. My patio set by Martha Stewart was bought about 4 years ago. It began to rust almost immediately and the other day we woke up to find that the glass table top shattered in a million pieces. We have two little girls and I am just thankful that we were not out there when it happened. I would love to know if there is anyone out there that can help make it right.

It is hard to believe that this problem seems to be so well reported and yet there has been no recall! This morning i looked out onto my deck and found that the glass top of my Martha Stewart patio table had broken into hundreds or thousands of small pieces. This was tempered glass so i suppose if it had to break, this is what was supposed to happen. I have not found anything on the deck to suggest that something hit the glass, it appears to have spontaneously broken up, just as in the other reports.

This is the 2nd Martha Stewart Table we have purchased to wake up and find that the table top has shattered into a billion pieces for no apparent reason.

I do know one thing...I am NOT buying another glass table!

We now have to purchase a new table or hopefully find something to replace the top.

We purchased a Martha Stewart patio set with a large glass table and 5 chairs from K-mart several years. Today we came home from work and found that the tabletop had shattered into a million little pieces. We were shocked and could not imagine what had happened. There was no sign of a rock or any trauma that could have caused this. Knowing how poorly this furniture is (rusting after 1 year) we weren't surprised to find it is a manufacturing defect and others have experienced the same thing.

I went to Kmart to try and have it replaced they simply did not what to deal with it and said it should be sent to our Home Owners Insurance to see if they would cover the replacement.

Two years ago we purchased a Martha Stewart Patio set from Kmart. In the fall my husband stores them inside our storage shop. No abuse has ever been done to the furniture. On 6-22-2007, my husband was walking across the patio and noticed glass on the deck. After he pulled the cover - what a mess - the whole table had shattered!

I went out yesterday morning to the pool and found the table top shattered. I thought someone had broken it, but when checking on the web for a replacement top I realized that others had the same problem.

A real mess-did not realize how much glass there was to clean up.

We purchased the Martha Stweart Patio table, with a glass top, about three years ago. Two days ago, June 8, 2007, the glass top shattered into thousands of small glass pieces. Fortunately, we were not sitting at the table when this happen. The glass appears to have exploded. We found pieces as far as 10 feet from the table. If anyone had been sitting at the table, there could have been injuries.

It was Memorial Day, May 28, 2007 and we were having our traditional Memorial Day Pool Party and I had set out appetizers and plates, cups,etc., a couple bottles of wine out on our Martha Stewart Victorian Round Glass Table w/ Lazy Susan and was back inside for a few minutes when I heard a terrible crash of broken glass and then my Husband and a couple of guests started screaming for no one to move especially our grandchildren ages 2,3 & 7 and several other young children of our guests that were playing near the table.

The entire set with umbrella cost $640.00. This is an unbelieveable mess to clean up and a safety hazard for our entire family and our pets. We are still picking up tiny chards of glass from the ground under our deck. The only way to completely make the area safe is to shovel the shards of glass and a layer of topsoil away with a wheelbarrow. K-Mart has acknowledged other customers have had this problem to us today by phone, but will not refund the price of the table or even discount the purchase of a replacement table. We were told that we could purchase another table for $115.00.

No one was hurt and I have not been able to replace the table. It was more expensive to purchase and ship a replacement table.

2 years ago bought a Martha Stewart patio set. The glass table shattered early this morning. While taking a shower I heard a loud crash and when I looked to see what the noise was about, I noticed pieces of glass all over the deck.

There was and still is glass all over our patio, which has resulted in several glass shards in my hands, but so far not my 5 and 2 year olds. May not be long though, glass is EVERYWHERE.

We built a beautiful new home and moved into it in 2001. Naturally I had to have a new patio set...bought all of it expect the swing..thank goodness. I spent $1000.00 plus. Used it from May until October. In 2002 I began to notice rust spots, and the color just disappeared. The cushions didnot last...even though they were safely put away. The fabric wasn't what it should have been. I would never recommend anything with Martha Stewarts name on it...I would like to send this all back to her...and get my money back. The check I wrote was good...wish the product had been as good as my check!

Physical damage... glass shattered into a million pieces all over my patio and garden. Money wasted (we spent over $400 on the complete patio set).

Our Martha Stewart hexagonal glass top table, purchased from K-Mart, shattered last May. We now have to use a wood piece of plywood for the table top in order to use it....also, evn though we have stored the chairs indoors for the winter, every chair is ripped beyond repair....the fabric just shreds when ayone tries to sit in them. I am VERY disappointed that I no longer have a usable patio set and now have to spend a lot of money to get a new one.....I think K-Mart or Martha Stewart Co. should reimburse every complaint received for their poor decision on materials for this product.

Patio table exploded!

Glass top shattered.

We will need to purchase a new table top. Until then, we eat from our knees.

I purchased a Martha Stewart patio set from Kmart and 2 years later the table top shattered. We were lucky that no one was on the deck at the time.

My Martha Stuart Victorian table top shattered in August of 2005. I originally purchased the set in the summer of 2001. I did call the store and ask if the company had a problem with the glass in the tables because I could find no evidence around the shattered glass that would cause it to break. The person in the lawn and garden department said that they had no complaints about the tables. Also, I am experiencing the rust on the umbrella stand and the rust on the legs of the chairs.

I purchased a patio bar in 2006-late summer. I was in the yard when I heard a pop. Looking around I discovered that it was my bar. Nothing was in the vicinity. I was baffled as to why it exploded.

I bought a Martha Stewart 7 piece patio table and chairs set from a K-Mart store in Pa back in 2003. 2 days ago, my glass table top had exploded into a million tiny, sharp glass pieces. Luckily, my 3 small children were not on our deck when this occurred. My 14-month-old had been out on the deck in her exersaucer 20 minutes prior to this happening. My husband was playing baseball with our 5-year-old, when all of a sudden he heard a loud exploding sound in the background. He ran over to the deck and saw that the glass table had exploded into a million small pieces. He went to pick one up and it was so sharp that it cut his finger.

The noticed that the paint was bubbling and peeling and telephoned the store in Langhorne who said they would exchange it for us. I had no truck and had to haul the whole set back and I thought it was great to at least get a new set. Well, by the following year, even though we had put it in storage, the whole set was peeling, rusty and just looked horrible. I worked for two and a half months on my weekends and evenings, sanding away the rust and bubbles and then repainting with a case of hammered-look paint. All of the cushions are falling apart, including the brand new ones from last season and all are unable to be used.

The table shattered all over my patio. It took days to clean up and I am still worried that my child and dog might step on glass and injure themselves.

I cannot use my table due to the completely broken glass.

After watching the local news, there was an item about the Martha Stewart patio tables exploding without reason. Funny that! We purchased a set Mother's Day, 2006. This winter, around 5:30 a.m., I had let the dog out, and my table was just fine. When I let her out again around 6:30 a.m., the patio was covered with glass. We just assumed something must have hit it, (our other table had frost on it), maybe causing the Martha Stewart table to break. I did write the company and had to send them pictures and a receipt, and I did get reimbursed for $50. Now my umbrella is broke!

My husband and I bought a Martha Stewart outdoor patio collection in 2004 from Kmart and we really loved this patio set. It was actually 2 different sets that matched. A dining table and 6 chairs and 2chairs and ottmans with a matching side table. This weekend we were having a dinner party and as we all sat around the table all of a sudden the whole glass top shattered into about 7 million small pieces. Everyone sitting there(5 people) had tiny cuts and glass in our shoes and cloths.

Martha Stewart Victorian Collection glass bar top exploded and glass shattered everywhere...I can see by reading other complaints that this is a common occurrence that neither Ms. Stewart, nor Kmart is taking responsibility for.

We will have to replace the table and we are still finding glass in and around our yard.

I was sitting in my living room when I heard a LOUD poppng sound on my front patio. I ran outside and was greeted bt what seemed to be thousands of shattered pieces of glass everywhere! After a week, I am still cleaning up pieces of glass. Yesterday,(5/7/07) I took the table back to the K-mart store where I purchased it and told the manager what had happened. She told me K-mart was not willing to do anything about it and to contact the manufacturer! The set Santa Barbara} is not even a year old, not to mention that I paid over $300.00 for it.

The glass to our Martha Stewart Living outdoor patio set has shattered into millions of pieces. The furniture has peeled and rusted. We can not use the table to the patio set and we are out $499.00.

We purchased a Martha Stewart Olympia Patio set last June 2006. We always store the set for the winter in our basement. Last night in a very mild windstorm the glass hex table completely shattered. Thankfully, none of the glass shards made their way into my yard.

My husband and I bought the Martha Stewart (Santa Barbara Collection) in 2005 from Kmart and we really loved this patio set. Today, my older son was outside playing and all of a sudden he heard a loud CRASH. The table top is broken with tiny pieces of glass all over the patio. Now we have no table to go with the rest of the set, and I don't even think this set is being made anymore. I am very surprised that so many people are having the same complaint and that nothing is being done about this.

we have a Martha Stewart Victoria Patio Furniture set purchased from K Mart. The glass shattered for no apparent reason. (In addition, the patio set has extensive rust and finish coat peeling off.)

I have received cuts om my hands due to pickup the pieces of glass, I having been picking up glass for a week and still dont have it all gathered. Thank-you

When I came home from work the glass on my 54 round patio table was all over the grass and in a million little pieces. I now have a completely broken outdoor table that I paid over $500 for the table, 5 chairs, umbrella and stand.

My husband and I were having dinner when we heard a loud noise coming from our deck. When we looked to see what had happened we soon realized our Table top on our Martha Steward Victorian Collection had simply shattered into small and dangerous pieces all over our deck. At first we had tried to figure out what might have caused this and soon came to the realization, after going on this website, that it has happened to many, many other people and there was not any explanation other them faulty Manufacturing.

Purchased Victoria 6 pc. Patio Set, Umbrella, Two Rocking Chairs and Chaise for $1200 in 2003. After the first summer the cushions faded and looked very old.

Purchased a patio set in June 2005. Last night, while we were all sleeping the glass shattered into a million pieces. Thank goodness my son was not on the patio at the time. SOmeone could have been severly hurt. My research shows this has been an ongoing problem with MS patio sets. I cannot beleive the irresponsiblity on the manufacturer's part. Consumers should have been made aware of the potentional hazard!

I bought a Martha Stewart (Santa Barbara) outdoor dining set from Kmart Spring 2005. The table glass shattered and is very hard to remove from the deck. The cushions are also very faded.

We bought a Martha Stewart Great Lakes Collection Patio Set in June, 2000. We take the furniture into our basement each winter for storage and we take the 6 seat cushions in the house each night. The chairs and table started showing rust spots at the weld joints and on the armrests of the chairs, the second year we had the set. Just last week, the temepered glass tabletop shattered into pieces.

In the spring of 2006, we purchased a Martha Stewart Glass Top Patio table. In the fall, we covered it with a tarp to protect it against the winter weather. At the end of November we heard a loud explosion and discovered that the glass top had shattered into thousands of tiny shards. It was impossible to clean it all up from the wood deck and much of the glass had fallen on to the patio below.

On sunday April 22 I found the table glass had shattered into a million pieces. I spent a couple of hours trying to vacuum all the pieces of glass out of the lawn which was tedious work!!! I have a 2 and 4 year old...and would hate for them to cut themselves on a piece of glass while playing. I had to go out and purchase a whole new patio set because the original set is usless without a table top.

My husband and I were sitting in our family room watching TV about 9 pm with the french doors open to the pool lanai. We heard what sounded like glass shattering on the lanai which indeed it was. The patio table had completely shattered into a million pieces and was everywhere. Hopefully none of the glass reached the pool only a few few away. I am still vacuuming up chards of glass and probably will be for awhile. I'm just thankful that we were home when it shattered since I have a 17 year old dog that might have been seriously injured by walking through the glass. I undestand after going to the Martha Stewart website that we are not by ourselves.

Our Martha Stewart Patio furniture suffers from all of the problems described in the online article. Including the glass table top exploding into a million pieces. The whole set is almost worthless now and we don't want to spend more money replacing cushions, glass and repainting it etc. $1500.00

About a 1 1/2 years ago I purchased a Martha Stewart glass top patio table and 6 chairs from Kmart. Last month, the glass on this table shattered into a zillion pieces. Some of the shattered glass still remains between the deck boards and is impossible to remove.

Purchased the Victoria Collection of Martha Stewart Patio furniture for approximately $1000. After the first year the paint started peeling and as it came off the set started rusting. The cushions, which are stored through the winter, have shredded. This seems to be a common theme with this product.

In 2005 I purchased the Victoria patio set, lounge chairs and rocking chairs. The paint is chipping and rusting and many of the snaps have come off as well. It looks like a patio set that I've had for 20 years. I paid $1,000 + for all of these pieces and Kmart will do nothing except refer me to the manufacturer, who has done nothing.

Martha Stewart Living Patio Lazy Susan shattered while in storage. We take good care in the storage process and cover the glass with a thick old bed comforter. When we went to take the furniture out of storage the glass had shattered into tiny little pieces like something I had never seen glass do before. I do not feel comfortable using this set even though the table glass has not shattered yet but from what I am reading on the Internet I am expecting it to blow up any day now.

I purchased a Martha Stewart brand patio table and chairs in 2005 or 2006. Two months ago, without warning, with no one and no objects on or near the table, the glass top on the table shattered. This table had been used once or twice since it was purchased and had been covered for the winter. I was working in the kitchen, which overlooks my deck, when I actually heard it shatter.

Thank God, no physical injuries have occured as a result. It just seems outrageous to expect people to buy new patio furniture each season.

Our Martha Stewart outdoor table shattered into a million pieces. Thousands of glass pieces that we are unable to pick up because it's in grass. Our small son can't play in the back yard around that area. We don't have a big yard, so it doesn't leave much room. We have to buy an entire new outdoor set which, on a tight budget, is very hard to do.

We purchased a Martha Stewart patio set with a glass table top last spring for $550 from Kmart. The set was well cared for and protected with a custom cover for the winter. On 4/8/07, I noticed that the cover was sagging in the middle and upon inspection I discovered that the glass top had shattered on it's own. The set is located on a raised deck surrounded by a railing and a gate.

I bought both a Martha Stewart pation set and a patio living room deck set (couch, 2 rocking chairs and coffee table. Last summer my table top shattered and on my couch set, the cushions have all ripped. I too take very good care of my furniture, covering it and storing it inside in the winter months.

Glass broke on patio table. Tried to contact martha Stewart website, etc, but they refuse to even answer me about replacement

I purchased a Martha Stewart Everyday Arcadia patio set from K-Mart at the end of the summer of 2006. We used this beautiful set for 2 months. At the end of the season, the glass table shattered.

Martha Stewart patio furniture, Covington set: Glass Table top spontaneously shattered. Purhased approximately 1 year ago, Spring of 2006.

My table by hampton bay also shattered and the cushions are all faded. The table is useless and the cushions are ugly.

My glass has shattered everywhere, I need a new table or my money back!!!!

My children bought me the Victoria set at K-mart for Mother's Day 2005 at the end of the season and it was not used until 2006 and after being used 2 times the metal on the chairs and table started peeling off and there was rust where the paint peeled. I went to K-mart and complained but I was also told there was nothing they could do...that I needed to contact the manufacturer who was no help. My furniture was stored indoors when not in use so it was not out in the weather for any amount of time.

Purchased a Martha Stewart patio set. The set is kept in the house. It was never exposed to the outside. Last month the glass top spontaneously shattered into a million pieces. Contacted Kmart & they were of no help at all. The patio set was expensive. I cannot afford to replace the glass, or buy a new set, so I now have a patio set that I cannot use.

My Martha Stewart glass top table spontaneously exploded after I had just set it out on my patio. It was purchased at K-mart in the mid-summer 2006. I used the table for half of last summer and now I will not be able to use it this year. K-mart said that I should contact you because they are not willing to replace or repair my top. How do I get a new table top or new table?

Last summer I found that the lazy-susan on my Martha Stewart glass patio table has shattered. There was no apparent reason for this. I was just now on line, looking for a replacement piece and found that I was not the only person with this problem. I was also trying to find paint, as the tables are rusting and need refinishing.

We purchased the victorian collection last summer and we had it covered for the winter - surprise - the lazy susan shattered into a million little pieces. Many others have filed the same complaint. Kmart says they can't do anything.

We purchased a Martha Stewart patio set from Kmart and are very disappointed. The tables glass shattered all over the place in tiny little pieces. We have had to purchase a shop-vac and do some major cleaning of our yard where the glass sprayed. We have a toddler and dog. This was a very dangerous product flaw and these tables should have been taken off the market a long time ago!!!

Three years ago I purchased the Victoria Patio set which included the 5 chairs w/cushions,and the table w/lazy susan. Separately I purchased the umbrella. Total cost was approximately $800.00. Last summer,my husband and I were in the house preparing for a BBQ when we heard a loud noise. We went out by the in-ground pool, and the glass to the patio table was in a million pieces. The lazy susan was intact. The glass was in between the cement around the pool and to make matters worse, the glass was also in the pool. We both had to get into the pool - 9ft depth and keep diving down for the shattered glass. This took hours.

We came home one summer evening (2006) to find our glass hexagon patio table had bust into thousands of pieces. I have taken pictures of the damage. I am still picking pieces of glass from between my deck.

We purchased a martha stewart glass table with 6 chairs with the lazy susan. Design was nice on the table with the leaf pattern. This past winter, the glass on the table shattered for no apparent reason. Luckily, no one was hurt. Today, I went online to try to buy a replacement table and I am amazed at the number of people reporting this problem. OBVIOUSLY, this is a manufacturing problem and I am disappointed they are still selling the table. How many people have gotten injured by this problem? There must be 300 posts about this table shattering- indoors and outside, stored, etc.

My wife and I purchased a great Martha Stewart Patio Set which included a glass table. We have replaced the glass table twice. In both instances, the table spontaneously shattered into what seemed like a million pieces. It is a shame since we now have patio furniture without a matching table.

2 years ago, my children bought me a Martha Stewart outdoor dining room set with a lazy susan. The chairs rusted after the 1st year, and the cusions began fading almost immediately. This past winter, while in storage, the glass on the lazy susan table exploded. I wasnt aware of this problem until this week as we began to get our patio ready for summer. We found the glass spread within a 6' radius around the table. There was nothing near it so it was baffling to me until I started reading people's problems with this table.
