How to the display shelves work?

Where did you find shelves? I looked under 'surfaces' and didn't see any shelves there.

Objects by function, choose surfaces and top right there is a pic of a shelf and it's called "displays" there is a whole bunch of shelves in there.

But I can't get anything to snap to the shelves to put on them. Thought I could with collectables, nope, plants, small deco nope.
What do I need to do to put stuff on these shelves?

I've been able to just grab something and place it near the shelf close enough that it sits on it, so far I've put small toys and clutter there... I'm using TS3 style camera, I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

Hmmmm... I'll try again, maybe it's my camera angle

OK I was finally able to get stuff up there, it just seem like there is hardly any stuff that will "fit"? Up there. I'm surprised by the lack of things that are able to be put on the shelves

I found the shelves(thanks to you) and put woodworking and collection items on them and they fit perfectly. I haven't tried decor items yet.

I haven't tried woodworking yet, my sim at the moment is a collector/gardener. The only non buyable thing I've found to fit there are these gnome sized sim statues that my sim has found in treasure boxes she has dug up in the world. I'm not exactly sure what they do, they have an option to do something with emotions? (can't remember the exact wording) but I've been too afraid to try them yet! :D

That's one of the things I put on the shelves. If you activate the 'aura', it helps your sim feel 'focused'.

Oh cool! Off to try them out then!

I tried putting fossils on them earlier and they wouldn't snap to it, so I was wondering this myself. Has anyone had luck putting fossils on theirs?
