What constitutes a chest fridge to you? A Google image search on the term yields exactly what I expected and those have been around as long as I can remember (30+ years).

Something I can buy in a store or have delivered to my house and isn't an order of magnitude more expensive because it's "design"

So you're saying that "design" chest fridges are a new occurrence? I'm thoroughly confused as to what you're trying to say.

Chest fridges are not new and have been around for decades. If by "design" you mean designer, then ok maybe designer chest fridges are a new thing. I wouldn't know because I've never actually seen one. Most people keep chest fridges in their basement or garage and wouldn't care if it's designer or not.

I'm saying that they might "have been around", but they weren't in any of the stores that sold fridges when I went looking for them. The only thing resembling a chest fridge I have seen in real life in the last decade was some kind of fancy designer-drawer in an upper-class house.
