I was actually looking online of how to get reimbursed or at least a replacement for my outdoor glass table which is part of a complete, but not cheap set, made by MARTHA STEWART.What is agrevating me even more now, is to see that the first table I had from the same company shattered, but both my husband and I thought perhaps something caused it, though we did not have anything sitting on, nor even umbrella with it.We came home one afternoon and it was totally shattered into millions of pieces. Not even thinking that it was a defect for the chairs were good. So we went out and bought a whole another set even more expensive then the first, mainly for the fact that we liked the color scheme and did not put 2 and 2 together! We just bought this set about 4 months ago, and last month we heard an explosion, looked out our front door, windows, couldn't figure out where it came from. Our son went to go let our dog out and started yelling, hey our tables broken again!, that's when we realized it was the table that exploded. So now this is the second set, I have now spent over a grand on MARTHA STEWART furniture, and have 2 sets of chirs, 8 and 6, and no freakin table!!!! I feel that with all of the complaints listed here, that MARTHA STEWART should have a recall of her tables and replace the ones that have been purchased with in a certain time frame for there is NO WAY that a table should shatter under a year or two and put people or kids at risk of getting hurt! But maybe that's what it will take, some innocent child at that table or by it, to get severly hurt until they do something. Never PROACTIVE always DAMAGE control!

My husband took the glass table top out of our basement to clean it before company arrived. Before he had a chance to set the table down, it shattered in his hands. He suffered some cuts and scrapes on his hands and lower arms. We were able to get most of the pieces up off the driveway after 45 minutes with a shop vac. This happened on August 29th, 2009.

I purchased the Victoria collection, a six-piece dining set, from K Mart that's a Martha Stewart product. Friends warned me, after the purchase, that many people found their tempered glass table top shattered after a short time. My table was always under cover on a glassed in back porch. Now that I have moved and the table is on my deck. I keep the chairs and table covered unless I am using it. Recently I walked out on my deck and found the table glass had shattered into hundreds of pieces. I went on line and found that K Mart claims it is not their fault, Martha Stewart whose name is on it, says it is not her fault and the company who made the glass has filed bankruptcy. We are told to file a complaint. How is that going to replace me table top?

I had a Martha Stewart Patio table (glass with lazy susan) that shattered. Luckly no one was hurt but I needed to replace the glass top for 300 - neither Kmart nor the manufacturer was of any help.

The glass table top of my Martha Stewart Victoria Patio Table shattered today, September 18,2009. I have read dozens of complaints regarding the exact same problem. It is obviously a defective product and I want restitution. I paid 600.00 for the set. I was sitting about 2 feet from the table when it occurred. It scared me to death!

Barbara of Sandusky, OH September 15, 2009

I purchased a whole set of Martha Stewart patio furniture,I spent over 600.00 just for the glasstop umbrella table, also bought sofa 2 rockers coffee table spent over 1000.00 dollars. 2 weeks ago at my grandson 1 birthday the glass on the table exploded. No one was hurt because we were just getting ready, I heard an explosion the glass crumbled. some one could get hurt.

I called another kmart store since ours closed and they said they stipped making he victorian line a year ago. Know I have no table to go with 5 chairs or umbrella, I always took my cushions in and umbrella just because I wanted to keep this set nice now I can't find a table to match, still looking. We can't afford a new set, I'm understanding this is not the only one this is happen to, I read 140 complaints about the glass exploding. I'm also concern my grandson and my company could of been hurt!

Terry of Islip Terrace, NY September 13, 2009

My Martha Stewart octogon table also shattered into a million pieces. I covered it when not in use and it was covered at the time of explosion, which probably was better because the pieces all shot down and no one was injured. It was a little over a year old so I knew it was out of warranty and just bought a new one, now if I would have seen all of these complaints first I would have went for another brand, I hope this one lasts.

Shelby of Adairsville, GA September 12, 2009

I bought it about 2 years ago from the above store but do not have a receipt. Am I able to receive a new one and do I have to go to the store itself or to the manufacturer? If manufacturer where and/or to whom do I get in contact with. My glass top on my patio set exploded into a million pieces, luckily while no one was sitting at the table. I still have it in the condition it happened and the glass has not been cleaned up.
