What is RoundAbout?

We get asked this a lot. RoundAbout is a new company operating in a new space, so the question makes sense. At its simplest, RoundAbout is a neighborhood library of things. We stock a broad inventory of tools, lawn and garden equipment, outdoor gear, kitchen appliances and gadgets, games, electronics, party supplies, and other household items that most people use only a few times a year.

We give our members an alternative to owning everything. The "ownership by default" world we live in creates a staggering amount of excess and waste. The average U.S. home contains over 300,000 items, the vast majority of which sit idle most of the year. Think about all the stuff you, your family, your neighbors, and your friends own that rarely gets touched. RoundAbout exists to offer a better model.

Members simply check out what they need, when they need it. We deliver it. We pick it up. The burden of buying, storing, maintaining, locating, and eventually disposing of all that stuff disappears.

We offer our service at a price point that makes choosing access over ownership a straightforward decision. Our Plus and Premium membership plans make the value even more compelling. As a Plus or Premium member, you get access to Stuff Club, which means you can check out hundreds of items library-style with no per-rental fee.

Ultimately, RoundAbout is like having a garage in the cloud, a basement on demand, or a pantry in your pocket. Sign up, visit our website, reserve what you need, and we get it to you when you need it.
