I did not have ordered from Ikea but everything happened in a kit, or even to climb. No bill, just in a plastic bag. Well luckily I mecano and I (almost) everything re-assembly anyway but lacked a piston. Finally, I had had absolutely need the cake for the 30th anniversary of my best friend ... and so they work pretty well. By cons, it's the last st time I order something that is not sold directly by Amazon.
