BangTong&Li Squat Stand & Barbell Rack
The BangTong&Li Squat Stand & Barbell Rack is a pair of independent, H-base squat stands rather than a connected cage, designed for buyers who want barbell support for squats and bench press without the footprint of a full rack. It's built from 2x2 inch square steel tube with a powder-coated finish, an adjustable bracket height range, and comes with two barbell storage racks built into the base for stacking plates.

Who it's for
This pair of stands is a good match for lifters with limited space who mainly need squat and bench support and want the flexibility to reposition or store the stands separately from a bench, rather than a fixed four-post rack.
Who it's not for
Buyers wanting an enclosed cage with front and rear safety bars, a pull-up bar, or attachment points for cables and lat pulldowns should look at a full power rack instead, since these are open, freestanding stands without a connecting top or overhead bar.
Pros
The 2x2 inch steel tube construction and H-base give solid stability for the price, the adjustable bracket height range covers most squat and bench heights, and the built-in plate storage racks are a useful inclusion at this budget tier. With over 2,100 Amazon Australia reviews, it has a large track record to draw on.
Cons
Being independent stands rather than a connected cage means there's no built-in spotter arm safety net the way a full rack provides, and BangTong&Li does not publish exact steel gauge or hole-spacing figures, so precise adjustment increments aren't confirmed.
