Looking to buy of these:
Do you think that they form part of the structure which will be compromised without them?

That looks like a steel-framed desk, in which case (probably!) the drawers will just be hung from the frame and can either, both or neither side. Certainly was the case on my old steel-framed desk.
JoeJoe :
Unlikely. ITYF that the drawers are just on the left side so you'll only be evening things up.
The modesty panel might look a bit of a mess afterwards, if that matters (or even if it doesn't).
Why don't you want the drawers? Without them it's just a table. We got two desks this year with 4-drawer pedestals each side. I now have 8 drawers to put stuff in in my desk and so does SWMBO.
It is meant as a(do whatever you want to it) desk/art table for the girls' playroom.... So it would begood if two or even three little people can use it at the same time.
It happens that JoeJoe formulated :
Almost certainly you can simply remove the drawers, but why buy? There are lots of good used desks disposed of for free on Freecycle.
Yup, makes sense.
Yes (I've a couple of identical-looking ones). The legs form an inverted U at each end, stiffened by the outer pillar carcase. The pillars are assembled into boxes, then fastened to the top. However I'm sure you can bodge something - you'll need to keep the legs stiffened from tipping sideways, probably by beefing up the connection to the modesty panel.
What you really want are my old office desks. These had a steel H frame at each end, attached to the top. The drawer pillars then hung underneath independently.
