Technically they aren't instanced, they just don't network players to each other, only the party list still gets information if you are in the same zone.

The reason there is no dresser in housing areas is because there was a technical issue if the dresser was moved while it was being used by another player. I don't know where the "the server crashes if two players use it at the same time" thing came from, but Yoshi never said that. Regardless, the reason hasn't been a problem for a while now, because the game no longer lets you move furniture that is being used.
