Mikolo stuff isn't commercial grade, and it's definitely not the best in the world, but this is so cheap it's worth giving it a shot.
Here's my Temu M7 setup (Mid-organization, so there's stuff all over the place):

Definitely bolt this to the ground still!!!
I recommend the brand based on my experience.
There are usually deals for bumper plates on here. I got a few sets and they store on the machine well. Also grab yourself some adjustable dumbbells and you have a very versatile home gym to never use!

The M4 pulley system is 2:1. Meaning if you want to use 100lbs, you have to stack 200lbs. Bumper plates are thicker than their steel counterparts. So you will be able to fit less plates. With steel plates you can also put the smaller plates in the second and 3rd storage horns on the left and right side without the outer pulley horn weight stack knocking into them.
They are also, imo, easier to handle, especially then ones with a lip or handle holes in the weight.
You can use the pulley trick to get it to 1:1 with ~$50 in parts.
If your ceiling is low, you can invert the top pull-up bar to get more clearance without affecting it's operation.
I did two other quick hacks. I replaced two of the top bolts with longer ones so I could dock the smith bar higher when not in use (this is not load bearing, just to dock the bar itself.) This allows me to dock the bar and easily walk under it without banging my head on it.
I also put a bolt through the eye hole on the smith bar hook. This limits the rotation back to ~30 degrees or so. Otherwise it rotates nearly 180 degrees and can be awkward trying to rotate it back when you need to dock it.
There is also a near identical clone on temu except the pulleys have both ends terminate in the handles. Meaning you can chose 1:1 or 2:1 easily. If I had to buy this again, I'd get that one.
Also keep in mind, the m4 pro 2.0 is about to be released, and it has weightstacks for the pulleys with weight horns to add more weight if desired, and the pulleys can traverse longer as they raised the height of the posts.
*edit* Actually, it's out, with or without weight stack option:

Attach it between the pulley and the pin. Hook your climbing hook to the climbing pulley along with your workout attachment and pull that for 1:1.
