Help deciding between these two pieces

| Hi!
After a long search I settled on the Paloma sideboard at C&B. I was at Fashion Island and happened to drop by Environment furniture today and saw a nearly identical sideboard for the same price, and supposedly made of the exact same reclaimed wood. I like the looks of both. Aside from a few inches of difference in the dimensions, I noticed that the Environment one has the ribbed wood pattern all the way around, whereas the C&B one only has it on three sides, not the back, but it will be against a wall.
So...any idea which of the two might be better made in any way?
Paloma sideboard, C&B, $2,499

Lotus console, Environment, $2,499

| Very outside my taste, but if I were to pick, I like the legs on the Lotus version better. Again this is not my type of piece, so the other legs may be more appropriate to your decor. But if I'm picking between the two: The Lotus, in Peroba Rosa. |

I think I like the C&B one better for the following reasons:
1. it's 2 inches deeper/longer
2. I like the drawer option...the Lotus has no drawers, just doors. |

| environment one has a softer look to me. |

| Thanks everyone! I finally decided to go with the C&B version as it has drawers as one poster pointed out, which might make it more versatile. The construction quality, upon a second inspection of both pieces, seemed the same. I asked someone at Environment about it and it turns out that Environment actually makes the Paloma for C&B, which explains the similarity in style. |
