Product Option Model

Product options are configurable options (e.g., "Size", "Color") for products, selected by the user before the product is added to their cart. Product options can be linked to a particular product or they can be shared amongst many products (i.e., all shirts share the same "Color" option instead of re-creating this option for each particular product).
