(note: if the shelf height is 36 they can add 2 or 3 shelving)

You should be able to do that with attributes, maybe with the help of this:\:

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=876

and:

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=310

but the quoted part above suggests 'dependent attributes' where the option of some attributes depends on the selection of another, and you can't do that in Zencart now.

Thanks Stevesh,

I looked at those add-on, I am not concerned with the stock status since if any component is out of stock then the whole thing should be out of stock. Thanks for the reply.

what i want to accomplish is to have the customer select the
1)number of Complete units
2)size of shelf (depth and width we have 6 sizes available)
3)number of shelf on each unit ordered
2)wheels (size and quantity), for example if they order 3 units they can ask for one unit with wheels or 2 or 3 or none.
