Northcote modular storage: Farewell to a family favourite

It's been one of our most popular homegrown ranges over the years but it's finally time to say goodbye to Northcote, the modular shelving system that has been a firm favourite with families since its launch over ten years ago.

Do you want to hazard a guess at how many units have been sold in that time?

85,000! Can you believe it?

Northcote has been a true example of the timeless design that GLTC is known for. A quick glance at the photos that we've used in our catalogues over the years and you'll spot how easily the range was transformed with a quick change of storage cubes and baskets. From bright and colourful in playrooms to smart and chic in family rooms. There's been dino cubes for mini palaeontologists, bugs for future entomologists, and stars for ... well, everyone ... who doesn't love stars?!

While we love reminiscing, what does this change mean for you? Well, if you already own any of the Northcote range and want to add to your bank of units, now’s the time to make a purchase, especially as it has been reduced to clear and there's up to 40 percent off. If you've been umming and ahing over whether to buy an extra toy box base or shelf unit, this is your last chance before we run out of stock. Once we've sold out, we won't be getting any more in.

But that doesn't mean that we're completely saying goodbye to modular storage. If you're looking for something new to keep your floors free of toys and your kitchen cupboards free of arts and craft materials, stay tuned because we're launching a very special alternative to Northcote later in the year. We think you're going to love it.

In the meantime, why not check out these alternative storage options. If ever there was a time to remind us about the benefits of great toy storage, it's the summer holidays. Anyone whose floor hasn't disappeared under a mound of toys, we take our hats off to you.
