Victoria patio furniture set, by Martha Stewart collection from Kmart. The frames began to rust within months, the cushions faded within a year, and most recently, the coffee table shattered spontaneously.

Table is now worthless and the remainder of the furniture looks very bad. The several hundred dollars I spent (I believe all together about 800) is wasted.

I purchased a Martha Stewart patio set (Madison collection) early summer of 2004. Toward the end of last summer (2005), one evening the glass top of the table mysteriously shattered. The set was never abused since it is just my husband and I who use it. (Have you ever tried to sweep up a gadzillion pieces of glass - believe me it was no easy task.) I have tried contacting the manufacturer to no avail. I have also tried to get information from the local K-Mart store, again with no results. If there is a class action for this, I certainly want to be a part of it. What I really would like is a replacement table.

My husband and I bought thye Martha Stewart Victoria Patio Furniture collection (table, umbrella, five chairs, and chaise lounge) in March of 2005. One year later, all but one chair cushion is destroyed. The started to shred and fall apart. When I called KMart to get replacement cushions, they said that they would call us in a week with information. They never called, but I did get a letter in the mail saying that I could buy them online. The problem is that they are not listed in the website. I paid approx 500 dollars for a patio set that has no cushions. Had I known that the quality of this product was going to be so bad, I would have shopped elsewhere. This is a big blow to my faith in the Martha Stewart line.

Like so many others, our Martha Stewart Victoria Patio Set sold by K Mart glass table top mysteriously shattered into pieces. No one has been of any help in providing information on replacement glasstops, etc.

While misery loves company and I'm glad we're not the only ones this has happened to, I would expect some sort of answer as to why this has happened and what can be done to rectify the situation.

Martha Stewart Patio furniture is falling apart with rust and fading.  We purchased a Martha Stewart complete seven piece patio set plus umbrella and chaise lounges from Kmart.  After one winter, the cushions are terribly faded and the metal rusted.  We went back to the Kmart in Pineville, North Carolina and there was absolutely nothing they could do for us.  This is a crime and Martha ought to be sent back to where she was just released for fraudulant merchandising. 

We paid well over 1500 for this set and we are very disappointed.
