Mikolo Folding Squat Rack, Wall Mounted Power Rack with Cable Crossover Machine & LAT Pull Down, Functional Trainer with 5 Adjustable Function Modes, for Home Gym and Space Saving

Seems to be of very good quality. Went together easily following the directions. I did use some of my tools instead of what comes with it. Slight annoyances: is a little "sticky" when the carriages are going up and down. Better when weights are evenly distributed. Will try some lube mentioned in another review. The other thing is these little rubber washers, near the stop ball at the end of the cable. I don't know what they are for and they will move in the middle of a set and get stuck in the rollers. I finally just slid them up the cable to a location that would not interfere with my workout. It is a bit pricey, but was the best price I found for two independent pulley systems. The ability to adjust the arms is a great feature. Not only can you fold them in to reduce the footprint, but with 2 positions to adjust them outward, you probably get the widest cable crossover in the size of a squat rack.

I had my doubts about this rack because of the price. But I will say it has surprised me. I go to commercial gyms and got this for my wife and days I’m running slim on time. The instructions aren’t the best but I found a video on YouTube that makes it easy. Everything is high quality, and I get great workouts with it! I love being able to fold it up in under a minute to clear room in my garage. Some people say to replace the pulleys with aluminum ones, but after oiling the bar the weight slides on, I don’t notice too much of a difference from the cables at a commercial gym. I’d recommend this rack with cables to anyone! Well worth the money compared to a standard Rogue squat rack only.

After reading reviews and researching most folding racks with pulley systems, I decided to pull the trigger on this product. By far the most competitively priced, the Mikolo Folding Squat Rack arrived timely and well packaged. Instructions were clear for assembly- although as another review stated, the included mounting hardware is ONLY meant for concrete/brick installations. There was no mention of this in the instructions, just be aware of the anchors you choose. Overall quality was nice, there was one bent piece that required a little elbow grease to allow the silver guide bar to fit properly, but once bent back into place things were secure. I'm by no means a handyman or carpenter, but handy enough to install the stringer bars and get a secure mount (this process with full rack assembly probably took me 2.5 hours. Would have been quicker with an extra set of hands). Here's what I used to mount the stringer bars and ultimately rack if you'd like to do something similar. Probably a better way, but I feel comfortable throwing weight on it with my solution: - 2 5'x6" wooden stringer bars, mounted to four separate studs in my basement. - 16 5"x1/2" lag bolts (and washers) for attaching stringer bars to studs - 12 2 1/2" x 3/8" lag bolts (and washers) for attaching rack to stringer bars Also ended up picking up some heavy-duty magnetic hooks to hold all cable accessories off the ground for additional space saving. Have not tried collapsing the rack with these hooks on the top "Mikolo" metal stringer bar however. Overall would absolutely recommend this product to friends, rating 4/5 due to bent piece and additional hardware required for non-masonry mounting.

I purchased the WR01 Rack Only since I already have plenty of weights. WR01 is basically WR00 with an extra box of 21 aluminum pulleys shipped separately. (So now I have a bunch of plastic pulley and 3 spare aluminum pulleys sitting in my garage.) Assembly was time consuming but not hard especially if you follow the instruction video on youtube and use a ratchet wrench. For me, all the parts came in good shape. (Note that my attached photo contains accessories that I bought separately, e.g. rope.) With the included lubricant, I find the action smooth. I also put a little of the lubricant on the pulley post to make them smoother to move. The rack is very solid and a pleasure to use. I find the variety of exercise you can do with the different locking position very useful. It does require unscrewing the pull up bar on both ends to change position though. I just leave the pull up bar off, since I already have a separate pull up setup. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. Mounting to wall stud in a room with dry wall, on the other hand, was more challenging for me. For your reference, I used 2 2"x6"x5' Douglas Fir planks for the stringer. 16 3/8"x5" lag bolts with washers to mount the 2 stringer on 4 studs. (5" was probably an overkill since I am hitting 4 studs, and kind of a pain to to screw in. Also, if I had done more calculating, I could have used a shorter stringer and attached to 3 studs.) I also used 1/2" stainless steel spacers (3/8" inner and 1/2" outer diameter) between the stringer and the studs so the the pressure is on the wood, not on the compressible drywall -- possibly also overkill. I used 1/4" drill bits for the pilot holes. (Luckily, I already had a very long 1/4" drill bit on hand.). You'll also need a 7/8" drill bit, if you want to recess the the bolts/washers. Note that even a slight misalignment of the drill hole/angle makes the lag bolts very hard to tighten. Even though I used a drill guide, I had to re-drill larger holes in some of the pilot holes in the stringer to make it all fit. Finally, I used 12 3/8" x 2" lag bolts with washers to mount the rack to the stringer.
