So it's a uniformly smooth surface? Hmm, I may have to switch my vote. Is the surface porous? I'm assuming the plaster one is.
Essentially, my concerns are practical, rather than aesthetic. Choose the one that is least likely to show spills, stains, scratches, etc.
We did. Then it cracked. Not made anymore.
It's unfortunate. The tiny bubbles in the glass diffuser of the Taccia I can ignore (when I'm not polishing the glass and they don't look like specks of dust), but my OCD can't ignore the tilting Tolomeo pole next to the straight line of the sofa.I have neither of these exact items, but the issues you are describing are typical of even high-end Italian brands. They are industrially-made, low-production goods and thus will not hold up to discerning scrutiny.
I have just learned to stop looking too closely at things…

My 1 year old has taken to use cassina nesting tables as a drum kit 🤷
The dog has claimed an original 1970s Herman Miller Lounge Chair as his dog bed.

Perhaps with pets (which is why I have none), but with children it is more accurate to say that you have to accept that they are immature physically and mentally so accidents will happen. You don't have to accept they will just tear up your sh!t.My pooch has all but adopted my grand repo as his sitting place. No damage so far, but I leave a sheet on it to minimize the dog hair.
With kids or animals, you have to adapt to them.

My then two-year-old son one day decided it would be fun to pull at the caning as hard as possible…
