It was delivered in a tube but unfortunately it was wrapped with the rough side out. It will not lay flat after using it for 2 weeks. The quality seems nice so I will return for an even exchange.
I needed this for work otherwise I’d return it. It was delivered folded in half with tons of crumpled areas. Had to use a hair dryer to get the large bits flattened. Chair mat moves around on hardwood floor. Make sure to move slowly.
