My wife and I bought this 7-pce set (Umbrella not included), for just over $200 at a Wal-Mart in NH. Read many reviews where people was satisfied for the $$. The chairs are comfortable as mentioned in reviews, assembly was not difficult, BUT: Approximately 1-1/2 months after purchase and very light use, we came home one afternoon to find the glass top had completely shattered and pieces all over the deck. There was no evident reason for this to happen. No extreme temps, fallen objects, vandalism, etc. The instructions state " Do not call Wal-Mart for service, call producer. The Producer is BJI Inc, Louisville, KY. My wife called them for customer service and the categorically stated that the glass portion on the "Braddock Heights Glass Table" was not covered by there "Limited Warrantee". Ordering a replacement would cost ~$180, more than we paid for the whole table! They told her to try local Glass Shops. She did, and they told her they will not do replacement because tempered-glass tops for tables like this have a habit a shattering for no particular reason. Anyway, BUYER BEWARE for this product from any source at any price! BJI Inc as the producer and Wal-Mart along with other distributors are selling a product with a (evidently) known defect that is purposely not covered by their "Limited Warrantee". I'll have to make a replacement top now!Posted by prudentbuyer at 5:49 PM on 6/18/08 Report Spam
