Arrived flat not rolled thankfully. put it down in front of my desk and it tucked in nicely. This is a much thicker and sturdier one than I previously owned.
I like it but not the way that it was packaged. The tape around it was SO sticky that I had a huge problem getting it off. Perhaps you could use something else besides tape to keep it coiled when shipping.
The price of this office mat was good and I needed three of them for our medical office. We opened the first one sat in a chair on it and it dented right away. I had to return all three and get thicker more expensive ones.
