ADB Shelves

Name: ADB Shelves
Brand: Oak Club Mfg
Rating: 3.84 (4 reviews)

Oak Club Mfg’s ADB Shelves are a pair of rack-mounted shelves built to hold adjustable dumbbells off the floor – sized for spin-lock designs like PowerBlocks, Ironmaster, and AOC, with a maximum footprint of 22” x 8.5” per shelf. Each shelf can mount back-to-back on a single upright (2 bolts) or independently across two separate uprights (4 bolts), with the incline adjustable from -10° to +10° via mounting holes spaced 4” apart and sized for 1” bolts. They ship in a black Sandtex powder-coat finish with rubber top pads, each shelf weighing about 11 lb (plus roughly 3.5 lb per rubber mat), and are made to order in Canada.

One independent owner review (YouTube) calls the shelves functional but “just okay,” rather than an upgrade worth buying new: the bottom mounting hole is bean-shaped rather than round, which lets a shelf slip out of its flat setting under 60+ lb dumbbells unless the bolts are torqued down hard, and the powder coat chips at the bolt-insertion points with repeated mounting and unmounting. The same reviewer found the shelves’ footprint on the outer uprights gets in the way during squats and bench work, and noted they aren’t compatible with REP’s pin-loaded dumbbells (Oak Club’s separate REPin-specific shelf costs more than REP’s own storage cart).

What is a Storage?

What gym storage is

Storage keeps a home gym safe, tidy, and usable: weight-plate trees and pegs, barbell holders (vertical or horizontal), dumbbell and kettlebell shelves, and wall or rack-mounted organizers. Loose plates and bars on the floor are a trip-and-damage hazard; storage reclaims space and protects your equipment.

What to consider

Match storage to what you own (plate diameter, number of bars, dumbbell count) and your space — wall-mounted units and rack-hung storage save floor area, while free-standing trees move easily. Check the weight capacity and, for wall units, that you can anchor into studs.

The ADB Shelves are a workable way to lift adjustable dumbbells off the floor, but reviewers describe the execution as fine rather than great. Functionality is the strongest dimension — the pair fits spin-lock dumbbells up to 22” x 8.5” each (PowerBlocks, Ironmaster, AOC), mounts on one upright or split across two, and its incline adjusts from -10° to +10°. Its weakest point is value: at $295 CAD new for a pair, the one owner review found calls it overpriced for what it does, pointing to cheaper generic stands or a DIY rig instead, and flags a design flaw where the bottom mounting hole lets a shelf slip out of flat under 60+ lb dumbbells unless the bolts are torqued hard. Build quality is solid on first impression, though the powder coat chips at the bolt-insertion points with repeated mounting and unmounting.

+Functionality: fits adjustable dumbbells up to 22in x 8.5in, covering PowerBlocks, Ironmaster, and AOC spin-lock designs (YouTube: Andie PL)
+Functionality: mounts back-to-back on one upright or split across two separate ones, with incline adjustable -10° to +10° (Oak Club Mfg)
+Build quality: solid overall fit and finish, described by one owner as having "that Oak Club allure" (YouTube: Andie PL)
+Versatility: bolts to any standard 1in-hole upright, not locked to one rack brand (Oak Club Mfg)

−Value: $295 CAD new is steep for the function; the one owner review found wouldn't buy new, calling a $100 secondhand price fair instead (YouTube: Andie PL)
−Functionality: the bottom mounting hole is bean-shaped, letting a shelf slip out of its flat position under 60+ lb dumbbells unless the bolts are torqued hard (YouTube: Andie PL)
−Build quality: powder coat flakes at the bolt-insertion points with repeated mounting and unmounting (YouTube: Andie PL)
−Versatility: not compatible with REP pin-loaded dumbbells; Oak Club's separate REPin shelf costs more than REP's own storage cart (YouTube: Andie PL)
−Durability: only one independent report exists so far, noting coating wear at bolt points but no longer-term structural data (YouTube: Andie PL)
