These bars can be great. The issue I had is quality control can be hit or miss and the prices have gone up where they're not as great of a bargain as they were previously.

These are pretty standard fare bumpers. No frills and really thick. They're priced decently however and you can sometimes find them on sale.

Gymway is no longer selling in the USA which is a shame bc they have some of the highest quality offerings. They're out of Taiwan and these plates have a super nice aesthetic and build quality to them. They're relatively thin for bumpers and aren't priced outrageously.

This is VERY similar to the REP FB5000, which I gave really high marks for, and it continues with this. For $250ish you get a solid flat bench with a good sticky pad.

Partial to this one as it was a custom one off that Ghost made for me before shutting down. That being said however this is pretty close to perfect. The aesthetics are unmatched, but the functionality is right up there as well. It has 8 pegs for plates, a huge chalk bowl built in, and can hold 6 chains. Was expensive but worth every penny and I'm constantly asked if I would consider selling it.

This is a really nice adjustable bench, which is super similar to some of REPs offerings. Where this one stands out is the color options as well as the add ons available to it which are not offered in similar designs from other companies.

Upgraded from stall mats to these. Outside of shipping costs, it wasn't much more money than just doing a bunch of mats. The trade off here is the aesthetics of having flooring like this take your gym to the next level and it's nice not to deal with seams. The cons are the shipping as mentioned, but also at 3/8" thick I'd be more selective on drops vs the 3/4" stall mats I had.

I didn't find much use for this in my gym. The build quality was pretty decent on all pieces outside of the rubber feet on the bottom which peeled off almost immediately. Fly wheel training is not for everyone and this is a super expensive piece, only would recommend if you've used a fly wheel previously and know what you're getting into.
