I just moved recently and rented a Uhaul and didnt have to dissassemble my detolfs I just took out the small glass shelves and taped the doors shut and just stood the detolfs next to each other surrounded by other furniture. No problems at all I just made sure when they were unloaded that I retighted all the screws and there were some that got loose with the vibrations.

I think it depends how far you have to move them.
If you're just moving across town you could probably keep them mostly assembled, keeping in mind that if you bump them (even slightly) against anything hard or metal the tempered glass could shatter instantly. I would also be very careful to put padding between the inner metal frames and the outside glass so they can't possibly touch each other.
If you're moving out of state or across the country, I would take the time to disassemble them.
Wow Im surprised you guys took the chance of NOT diassembling them but nice to hear that they made it intact. I'm hiring movers so I'm not sure if I trust them to be delicate enough with it assembled, but then again, would the glass be better off on its own? I guess it would rattle less. Decisions, decisions....
I'm moving: What's the best way to pack the Detolf?
