My reaction is a bit more muted than John's. I prefer the color version. I see some potential but generally would say “neither.”
The framing does not appeal to me. I want to take the two chairs that intrude on the margins and get rid of them before taking this shot. That would leave an interesting still life of sorts. But those two chairs are just too much added clutter. Particularly given that all three chairs in the scene are different styles. But given the image you have, and assuming no heroic Photoshopping to clean out the clutter, then the color version is better because the several bits of red help to unify the scene. That gets lost in the b&w version.
