After the initial shock of how much assembly was required, I am happy to report that I love to work at this new desk.  Everything is accesible and has lot's of storage in the 3 file drawers, which is something that was important to me.  The rest of the office is very envious and has complimented the look and style.  It's a perfect set-up as we share office space and this provides me the workspace I need, in the same space as an old work desk, with more convenience and it gives me the freedom to work in two directions, so, I can multi-task and still find everything.
I am considering getting an equilvalent to use in the home office.
