does it stay flat even with a few pieces on it?

I usually prep the board by counter rolling it/folding back the sides. The mat will curl if I don't and I find a few seconds of effort gets rid of the need to even try to weigh down the edges. You can also roll up the board playing side facing out so that when you unroll it it curls against the table and poses no issues but for some reason I find that scandalous.

Even though the mat rolls up to store, it flattens out pretty quickly. When placed on a sturdy surface, it stays flat. My son has used the mat on the carpet and it is still pretty sturdy. I don't think I would use it on anything softer without support underneath, though.

I keep the plastic insert that comes with the board and reroll it onto that each time. If I don't the roll may get smashed Causing folds to form in the mat. Then I'd never get it to lay flat again.

Not completely, as there is a plastic ring on the top (in your scenario, the bottom) used for lifting the cover. Therefore, the ring is in the way of it being a flat surface.

First initial placement it will be a bit curled up but once you put items on it, it flattens and then stays as such...

No. It does stay open and stays pretty flat when using. Quite like the little calendar. Had one for this year, too.

I've had mine for 3 months now & it lays perfectly flat. Its somewhat heavy so I don't see the edges curling up anytime!

It's flat enough to put a tissue box on it. I've had no problem with it falling off.

No, it is *not* flat on the bottom. There are some raised ridges on the bottom. Glad I coiuld help!

Yes it does. It can actually decline a little beyond flat if you want for doing crunches.

It stays flat but expect the wheels on you desk chair to make indentations in the mat.

If it's on your lap and it's at an angle, yes it will. If you have it set on a table or anything flat, it stays upright.

No. It is mostly flat, but there is a slight edge to it, which is useful to keep whatever on the plate.

No, it does not lay down flat. It also sits low. Only about 11" off the ground. If I can help with anything else. Please feel free to ask. =)

Not really with the way it is designed. Also I had to send mine back after just over a week because it kept going flat.

Yes it will stay open flat IF you bend it in the middle so that the front cover touches the back cover.

It is slightly flat but I would put it close to the edge as possible. I love this it is an attention getter!

It does not go completely flat. I would not recommend laying on your stomach in these chairs.

Yes, when you purchase it, it is flat and to flatten it you just push the sides in. Very convenient.
