Chagiga 27b - Was the Shulchan Transportable?

Tosafos explains that we consider the shulchan not to be "asui l'nachas" bec. they picked it up to show for the olei regel, but the fact that it was transported through the midbar does not make it loose the status of "asui l'nachas" bec. "it was moved along with the other keilim". It is not so clear to me what Tosafos means. Why is the fact that other keilim are also moved make it not "asui l'nachas"? I don't have a clear peshat but it reminds me of the gemara shabbos 31b that since "al pi hashem yachanu" the taking down of the mishkan is considered destroying in order to build in its place. Meaning that the Mishkan was considered to always be in the same place. Since the Shulchan was moved along with the keilim of the mishkan, it still maintains the status of "asui l'nacha", if not for the fact that it was shown to the olei regel.
