We went with the 12 drawer option for our master bedroom. The bed sits a little high, but I really like it at the height that it's at. The bed wasn't too difficult to put together, however it is time consuming. We decided to do the whole bed except the drawers first night, and then the drawers the next night. We spent about 3 hours the first night (but also had our 2 dogs and 2 kids running around and goofing off with us too). I'm sure if we were alone and focused, it would have went a little quicker. 
As far as quality, I think it's better in person than what I expected. The price being cheaper than most comparable beds, I was nervous ordering at first, but it's prettier in person, and it's heavy. I am very happy overall, now I'm just hoping it will last a long time.
