How to assemble Argos Malibu 3 drawer office desk oak

 I was a bit unlucky when I assembled this product. The Argos Malibu 3 drawer office desk study table. First off, the on side of the drawer got a crack and was deformed. Then the product doesnt have labels or numbers so it was tricky to follow the manual when the parts that you assemble doesn't have any markings or labels on it. Then on top of that the wooden peg on one side of the cabinet doesnt go down so I pressed hard on it and it went through and through. Even hit my hand. So I had to super glue that side to re-inforce it because otherwise the peg will come out. Also had to dig the hole deeper to make sure the peg goes in properly. Lastly, I had accident and hurt my hand. 

So in conclusion even though I managed to assemble it, I would say that the materials for this product is not that good.

Watch the video so you can see for yourself what I meant and also as a guide on how to assemble this product. Thanks for visiting my blog. 

Assembling Argos Kristopher Single Bed Frame with Simba Cool Foam Single Mattress

Easy and straight-forward assembly. Requires two person to assemble but mostly manageable by one. Materials are lightweight but in the box it seems heavy so I had to unbox it downstairs and brought them in the room piece by piece. It gave me space in the bedroom to assemble. 

The only mistakes I did was that I tightened the screws early even though on the manual it says leave the screws loose. I thought it will be more stable for me to assemble it that way but no, I had to loosen them again to make adjustments for the sides to approximate. 

After that was sorted it was easy and I managed to assemble it mostly just by myself. That only fiddly bit are the bars in the middle plus the plastic locking squares to secure those bars. There are like roughly 15-16 bars may be more and the plastic squares to lock them are both sides so it's like times two around 30-32 of those plastic bits to push with your thumb seems like a painful task to do. 

Overall, Im happy with this product. Just watch the video and read the manual. It's straight-forward and easy to understand and assemble. 

 

Behringer ULM302MIC how to set up

You will need to have two XLR cables or if you got an XLR splitter and an old XLR mic lead, then you can also use that one. 

Next you will need to have your PA system setup or a Portable karaoke speaker. 

Put two AA batteries in each mic and long press the up button to turn the mic on. 

Plug the receiver's power adaptor, and turn the unit on using the button at the back of the receiver. 

The mic automatically pairs. You can adjust the volume from your speaker and from the microphone itself. 

And that's it. ready for fun time karaoke and jamming with friends and family. 

 

Smallest, portable and loud pedal amp ever

 

I finally found the smallest, super lightweight, portable and loud pedal amp. The Mooer Baby Bomb 30. It's not a complete amp but with the right speaker cabinet and the right pedal with it, you can really gig with this mini amp head. Even without mic-ing your amp, it is loud enough and cutting through the mix. It also has a lot of headroom. I wasn only using 1/4 of the volume control and it's pretty much loud. 

My setup was Lyon by Washburn HSS and each time Im doing solo, I put it on the humbucker bridge pickup and it always cuts through the mix. I then plugged my guitar to my trusted Zoom G1xOn. Then the Mooer Baby Bomb 30 was connected to my DIY speaker cabinet that I bought from eBay which got a Laney HCM 30 which is 10 inch and 30 watts. It's perfect pair. Mooer Baby Bomb 30 and Laney 30 watt 10 inch speaker. 

I will probably try this one at some point using an analog pedal and see how it goes. Will keep you posted.
