"Weight capacity: 300 lbs"
Lol
As something with Engineering Training though - I have a hunch you could do 450 lbs and get away with it just fine - On the Rack Holder AND NOT THE SAFETIES. Because of how they're off center - the safeties are probably the limiting factor for the 300 lbs.
The thing is, it won't have been tested that high - but there should be a 1.5-2x factor of safety put into the testing in High Risk User stuff.
Now, if you do this Remember: DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. I'd personally be comfortable testing and using this rack that way - but make sure that you only leave the plates loaded for as long as you're using it. For at home use, the wear on steel tubes LENGTHWISE should be good enough for 3-5 sets of HOME use.
Anywho, lots of disclaimers, and if you're going to go beyond 3 plates for squats (315 lbs), you're getting to Advanced Lifter Land, or Expert for women, so I'd just get the corresponding gear. As someone with shit knees, 3 plates is probably my own Max out.

Reviews aren't bad. Seems most negative feedback is about the bench included in the bundle deal and not the rack itself. Price is right. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully good enough for now. In for 1.

The person you're responding to is reacting to the fact that it says it can "withstand the toughest workouts", but that it's limit is 300lbs, which is somewhat on the mid-low side of squats from what I understand, especially when boasting it's abilities with such a confident claim.

Yes only because the Walmart one is a round tube design which makes it wobbly . I wish mine was like this one
That said, I have 315 lbs on my Walmart rack and it's held up for years.
