The challenge
What support looks like for home & garden
01
High-consideration purchases need pre-sale guidance
Dimensions, materials, compatibility, and lead times — shoppers ask a lot before committing to a big-ticket item.
02
Shipping, freight, and assembly drive tickets
Large items mean delivery scheduling, damage claims, and assembly questions that need clear, fast answers.
03
Returns are expensive on bulky goods
Getting the purchase right the first time matters more here than almost anywhere — return logistics are costly.

Neo is reading the spec sheet…
Yes. It’s 18 inches deep and ships with the legs off.

One leg was cracked when the table came out of the box. Photos attached.
