Fridge-freezers - am I missing something?

The freezer compartment of our current fridge has three drawers or more or less equal depth. It strikes me as such a stupid design because you end up with ice trays in the top drawer which means that a. you can't put anything else in there and it wastes space, and b. you end up spilling water everywhere when you put the ice tray in. My previous one had a very shallow shelf at the top for ice trays, which was so much better - but most of the ones I'm looking at seem to have the same deep-drawer design and no shelf. Is this a thing now? How is one supposed to freeze and store ice?

I'm with you on this problem. My previous freezer had a shallow tray at the top, the one before that had a special compartment for freezing ice and a tray underneath to flip it into. For some reason it didn't occur to me when we got our current fridge freezer (which just has deep drawers) and now it annoys me.

Our freezer has a little shelf for ice trays. It's a Samsung fridge freezer - not sure of model no. though.

Thanks everyone. All the ones posted that have ice shelves are too small unfortunately Sad good to know they're out there though - will keep looking. Good tip re boiling water!
