These are strong 2"x2" posts. You can buy racks with 3"x3" posts but that's overkill unless you are lifting extremely heavy weight competitively, outfitting a commercial gym, or just want the extra stability and attachment ecosystem that comes with higher-end racks.
That being said.. while the description says "Max load: 1200 lbs", the pictures for the Mikolo F4 does say there is a 300 lb weight capacity of the jhooks, and 400 lb capacity for the safety bars.
Even then, here's a video of a drop test of 540 lbs on a similar setup by Mikolo.

It does not have a functional trainer system. So I made a poorman's functional trainer with a fixed-eye pulley, rope, and couple D-handles. It works for my needs.
Community Reviews
The Mikolo F4 v2.0 is a compact home squat rack with a centered lat pulldown and low row setup that fits well for typical garage gym use. The 2 inch hole spacing makes J hook and safety bar adjustments easier, and the 1 to 1 pulley feel is described as direct and smooth, with quiet plastic pulleys and solid 2 inch by 2 inch posts. It also includes a built in knee pad for pulldowns. Main drawbacks are the lack of a true functional trainer, the need for extra accessories if you want more cable versatility, and occasional two box shipping issues that can leave the set incomplete.
The F4 version 2.0 provides 2-inch hole spacing that makes safety bar and J-hook height adjustments easier.
The centered lat pull down and lower row setup can feel smooth with a 1:1 pulley ratio.
The rack posts are described as sturdy 2x2 steel posts that support the squat rack frame.
The plastic pulleys on the F4 version 2.0 are reported to run quietly and smoothly with good alignment.
The rack is criticized as being made of sheet metal, and the criticism recommends spending more for a safer, proper rack.
The shipment can arrive in two boxes where only one box is included, which prevents full assembly and use.
The bundle appears to include a knee pad for lat pulldowns but not an actual bench for pressing work.
The j-hook and safety-bar capacities shown in descriptions and pictures may not match the stated max load, creating uncertainty about limits.

- 1:1 pulley ratio
- 2:1 pulley ratio
So with 2:1, you trade mechanical advantage for more cable travel and smoother movement. Neither is universally "better," just different.If you load 50 lbs, you feel about 50 lbs of resistance. The handle travels the same distance as the weight stack/cable movement. It feels heavier and more direct.
If you want to feel 50 lbs of resistance, you need to load about 100 lbs. In exchange, the handle travels twice as far and usually feels smoother. This is nice for exercises that need a longer range of motion, like cable flys, rows, or lat pulldowns.
The F4 version 2.0 does not have this traditional functional trainer cable set up. It has the centered Lat Pull Down and lower Rom pulls. I used a fixed-eye pulley, about seven feet of rope, two D-handles to attach to either the high Lat Pull Down cable or the low Row Pull cable for a poor man's functional trainer cable system. Works remarkably well for vey little extra cost. See pic below.
Here is the fixed-eye pulley I am using to create the poor man's functional trainer with my F4 version 2.0 squat rack. Someone advised me to buy extra J-hooks for the convenience. Also someone else recommend the 6foot barbell at Walmart for less than $10 which is only 15lbs for those in family who cannot use the Olympic 45lb barbell for two-hand overhead press. And another person recommended the cambered barbell for back squats and it is so much more comfortable. You can see the poor man's functional trainer in the last picture, dangling from the upper cable of the Lat Pull Down. Buy a dozen of those strong magnet hooks... they come in handy for any additional accessories, barbell clamps, towel, etc.

Some pics of other things I've added that make my F4 v2.0 so fun to do workouts.

What I like is that for less than $300, I won't feel bad if I end up buying an upgraded model later down the road. In the mean time, it is more than enough for my current and anticipated progression.

Forget that one for $139.99.... This one is very similar but with an adjustable head support for $115.99 and looks like more secure pin-mechanism for locking in back support angles. Dang, I may get this to replace my bench. You can pay a little more for the "twill" texture material, whatever that is.
