I love that fact that it's simple, funtional, and large enough for 6+ people without needing to be too big and take up too much space. It is also multi purpose - as a dining table, craft table or makeshift fort. Also, it folds away so in the seasons when you won't want to sit outside you can fold it away out of site or when you do want to be outside, you can move it easily to the sunniest spot...
