Why are chicken coops high off the ground?

I was looking in the "farm & yard" section of craigslist and saw a very cute chicken coop for sale. It was built high off the ground and had a narrow little stairway leading up to a small doorway for the chickens to enter. The inside of the chicken coop had what looked like a "shelf" in it or maybe a rectangular box.

So why is the chicken coop built so high off the ground that it necessitates that stairway just to enter it? And what is that shelf or box inside the chicken coop?

There are two reasons for building a chicken coop off the ground: One is so the poop can fall out and be easier to deal with (chickens make a lot of poop). This would only make sense if the floor of the coop is wire mesh. The other reason is to keep predators away from the chickens - all sorts of critters like the taste of chicken (wild and domestic critters). The "box" might be a nest for them to lay eggs in.
