It's why when you select a retainer, that's that little waiting bit before they appear, that's the game actually loading them in

edit: just pointing out that I'm not defending it, I want the Dresser in my house, but just giving what I've heard/guess is the reason for it
If the amount of data sent/received is the problem, I don't understand why, then, you can access the Glamour Dresser at all. It would send/receive the same amount of data no matter where you interact with it (whether that be in your house or in the GC, inn, etc.). In my previous post, I pointed out why SE's rationale for why we cannot have it is just not true (i.e., you already cannot move / remove similar objects while they are in use). It would be nice if they would at least give an honest answer as to why they refuse to create this as a furnishing instead of giving a reason that doesn't make any sense because they've already resolved this issue with other furnishings.
