Setting up your City Bed is easy. Just follow these simple steps.

Please note: City Bed Frames ordered on or before December 1, 2023, may have legs that come attached to the headboard and footboard.

Without Optional Headboard

Step 1: Unbox

First, unbox your Avocado City Bed Frame. You’ll want to unbox your frame in the room where you want it set up, with enough space to lay out the parts in the shape or outline of the frame. In the box, you should find the following:

  • Two short rails (top and bottom)

  • Two long rails (sides)

  • One center support beam

  • One center support leg

  • One set of slats

Step 2: Get Your Pieces Organized

Lay the short rails (top and bottom) and long rails (sides) in the outline of the bed frame. Place the center support beam in the middle upside down.

Step 3: Connect the Corners

Pick up the top rail. Then, attach the top of each side rail to the top rail by inserting the pre-attached brackets into bracket holes on the bed frame. Please note: we want our bed frame to be snug, not squeaky, so expect a tight squeeze. This may require a little oomph. Get your flex emoji ready.

Once secure, repeat with the bottom rail.

Step 4: Attach Support Leg

Match the center support leg to the screw hole in the center of the support beam. Gently screw into the hole until secure.

Step 5: Connect Support Beam

Flip the center support beam right side up. Slide the pre-attached bracket into the metal slot in the center of the top rail. Once secure, repeat with the bottom rail.

Step 6: Insert Slats

Starting at the top, insert the first slat between the wooden notch on the left and right sides to secure. Unroll the rest of the slat set, ensuring the sides are resting on the inside ledge of the bed frame.

Step 7: Try It Out!

Place your mattress on top and test it out — and don’t forget to recycle the packaging materials!

Lay the headboard, bottom rail, and two side rails in the outline of the bed frame. Place the center support beam in the middle upside down.

Step 3: Connect the Corners

Using two people, pick up the headboard. Then, attach the top of each side rail to the headboard by inserting the pre-attached brackets into bracket holes on the bed frame. Please note: we want our bed frame to be snug, not squeaky, so expect a tight squeeze. This may require a little oomph. Get your flex emoji ready.
