I thought you meant frames i.e. each gif was directly loaded into a
separate frame and the page itself was just a complex frameset. That
would have been interesting. But you meant tables and we've seen
loads of pages built this way before.

Advantages? No.
Imagine the hassle of updating that page with a new nav item, or
adding a special news flash.
No alt attributes so the page is one big blank to search engines,
screen readers, etc.
And the waste of bandwidth caused by using all those images - 92kb for
a home page is too much.
