It was important to me that at least two people could sit in the chair I took, for two reasons. 1) I wasn't sure if anyone else would bring any seating. (In the end, only blankets and a cushion came in that department.) 2) I've adopted a friend's rule about furniture: it must be possible to make out on it. (ah, fun memories of Ikea...) Note: My flatmate accused me of frontloading the day when I first poured the G into the Teapot. But it turns out teapots hold quite a lot. And they add to the civilised atmosphere.
