[QUOTE="cerberos, post: 78924"] Not really complicated, but you most likely will not find this in an existing eCommerce application - at least not to suit your needs. I just developed a site for a custom PC maker that sounds pretty similar. Basically you just need to create the DB with your desired structure. Something along the lines of: table.Categories (tables, dressers, beds, etc) table.Handles (brass, silver, etc) table.Colors (red, blue, etc) And on and on. Basically for everything that you want an option to customize, you will set up a table to store all options. The actual page the customer visits to customize a piece would simply pull the data (via mySQL queries) from each table and populate a drop down list with each record. After submitting the requirements, this page would call a second page to make sure the customer didn't make any mistakes and filled out everything required, and email the order to you. (and preferably insert the order into an orders table.) Pretty basic coding, and you should be able to get it done fairly cheaply. [/QUOTE]
