When placing an icon on a counter, they tend to levitate. Same issue with coffee tables; they appear to be mostly sitting on tables (if not a bit high up on them), though.
Or this may just be the Giants movin--um, floating in mysterious ways?
I'm glad I did a quick search for this instead of making my own thread :)
I'm having the same issue. My icons seem to float high enough that no pixel touches the surface of my furniture. I've notice this happen for me when I placed icons on shelves, end tables, desks, and on top of the small (not wall mounted) cabinets.
**Update**
Here's an example from my house. My icon of Pot is full of holy levitation :D
