About Us 

Before starting Very Cool Stuff, Rory Colby was the owner of a manufacturer’s rep company, VCS, representing a vendor who had stainless steel gazing globes. The vendor never shipped on time to one of his distributors, so Rory asked if he could purchase and warehouse his own container of stainless globes and supply the distributor directly. The vendor agreed, but only shipped partially and again, never on time, eventually going out of business. Six months later, Rory went to China and sourced them himself. He came home, built a 2,400sq. ft. pole barn and created a sister company to VCS, naming it Very Cool Stuff.

He started with a single category of imported stainless-steel gazing globes, in two color options of Rainbow and Silver. Over time, new categories were introduced providing a wider variety of indoor and outdoor decor options. The stainless steel globe category alone has expanded to ten color options, available in multiple sizes. Currently, there are eight categories and nearly 500 sku’s from wall decor to metal planters, garden accents and more! Very Cool Stuff is currently working with more than 14 factories across the United States, India and China, bringing you 50 to 100 new items every year to stay ahead of the ever-changing trends!

Very Cool Stuff has grown into a 19,000sq. ft. warehouse, owned and operated by 5 dedicated individuals, and has become one of the leading suppliers of unique indoor/outdoor garden decor in the USA!
