variants will be a chore if all you want to do is show a fabric option and a color finish option.
Imagine 200 fabric options and 4 wood color finishes that means you would have to create 800 images for each product. The client has over 400 products so we're looking at 320,000 images!!!!
The product option which is the same for almost all products - FABRIC COLOR should be able to pull a swatch from the fabric swatch images and show it next to the option box.
Same thing for the color finish option.
Check out
www.patio.com and see how there product options work with swatches to build the product.
