On old time mariner ships, barrels, hammocks, beds, shelves, tables and other furniture and belongings were often hung from the ship timbers for storage, convenience but also for a safer sailing. This was not only for the convenience of saving space for minimalist living and preserving floors but floating furniture like a table rode the waves making it a better mealtime, cleaner, safer, less-likely to spill the meal. This suspended table created a lot of excitement at the show. It would be a great piece of furniture in any outdoor family gathering.
