They have loads of stuffs.
But if you're able to ship stuff from China, you can find the equipment they sell. Of course no warranty, once purchase, you're on your own to talk to the merchant if your item damaged or missing.

Things you might missed, could be not a big deal
1. Squat rack hole that fits your needs. China rack tends to not have many hole near the height where you rack your bar for bench press like expensive rack does

2. Rack width and pole diameter
China rack tends to be slimmer, like 1.5" than standard 2" where can you find alot of accessories from 3rd party vendor,

3. Bar weight
Not all bar is weighted 20kg.

4. Bench height (could be big deal for you cant lay your feet properly)

5. Bench stability. Good bench is very expensive. I still prefer the one I build with wood.

You can get agent to buy for you, look at service noticeboard section. Or ezbuy.
For heavy item, remember to use ocean freight which takes about a month to reach.

I also just gotten my stuff from savage gears. HQ here (https://goo.gl/maps/sLfMUWXNkQBL847r6) you may walk in for a try. I can PM you the guy in charge of sales if you keen. Their barbells are more professionally made, two variants. One for training use, RM5xx, another for amateur profession at RM8xx.

I am using the bump-plates, which is very friendly to condo tiles.

Floor bench presses full ROM is up to the plates or elbows touch the ground right?

Feels weird that the bar wont touch the chest.

Safety > everything
Instability prevents you from loading more weight, which defeats your lifting purpose.

So I got the Decathlon rack in post #2 and have been using it for a while now.
I would really like a second bar holder but decathlon doesnt sell this separately.

Anyone know where I can get another set? I am comfortable with buying from Taobao if needed.
Purpose is so that I dont need to unrack the bar, swap the position of the holder and re-rack.

This is what I'm looking for:

check the measurement or ask them the measurement if it fits your rack

you can also ask those rack seller if they sell the hook separately
