Moving. What in the world do I do with my Detolf?

[K07]

I'm moving out of my parents' house in less than a week and have no idea how to move my Detolf cabinet. Has anyone ever had to move it from one house to another or what? Seems so fragile...

I'd try to replicate how it was originally packaged.

We moved and had to transport five of them. The best thing to do is lay them on a their backs on a quilty fabric, and make sure that you insert a sheet of fabric, in between the glass door because the metal supports will clank against if you don't and drive very Slowly! it's nerve wracking but you'll survive

I moved mine by first removing the inner shelves, and then wrapping the whole thing in packing plastic film. This keeps the door from opening. Then we covered them in a moving blanket, and secured that with bungee ties.

I disassembled mine completely then rapped all the glass in blankets, and reassembled it at my new place.

Not that hard.

If you can assemble one, it's not rocket science to disassemble one, you just follow the instructions in the reverse order

Smash it up so it will fit in a small box then glue it all back together at the new place.

Congrats on moving out of your parents' place!

finally decided that after 40 years enough was enough?

I just turned 24 and a poorly paid private school teacher who spends his money on this expensive hobby! Haha. Thanks for the tips. I was trying to come up with a way to move it without taking it apart.

Exactly what I did when I moved across town. Simples.

The whole thing is held together by 8 screws. Easy to put together and take apart. l put mine together by myself in like 15 minutes.

I just removed the inner shelves and covered the unit with a blanket... nothing ran into it so it arrived safe and sound on its journey across town.

I took all my Detolfs appart and put the glass in packaging paper. Some plastic bubble foil around and being a little careful and nothing should happen.
