This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Expansion pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below the description for more information.
Just a little thing that was requested and I couldn't believe they hadn't been done before. Not one to pass up a good idea (or at least pass the good idea on if it doesn't interest me enough) I got to work.

A short 2-tile Anes dresser.

Whoa, holy replies Batman, lol! Thanks for all of the kind comments guys! <3

I still find it hard to believe nobody had done this before. I mean, in all these years NOBODY has thought "Gee, I really like these dressers but I could really use bigger ones so I can stop using cheats to put 2 together"? (Well, I didn't think of that, lol, I didn't even think of using cheats to put 2 together. I've just been using the existing short, 2 tile dressers.) The tall dressers are alright but I think of those as a chest of drawers - that's what I have in my own bedroom: a chest of drawers and a short, 2 tile (I will forever think of it as 2 tile now) dresser.
