Unable to retrieve metadata for 'Nop.Web.QuickQuote.QuickQuote'

I am trying to make quickquoteController.cs and get the following error:
Unable to retrieve metadata for 'Nop.Web.QuickQuote.QuickQuote'
I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Thanks in advance for any help given.
The complete error message is as per embeded image:

I built the QuickQuote.cs Model first & compiled the project.
The controller information is as follows:

Controllers=>quickquoteController.cs

Controller with read/write actions and views, using Entity Framework
Variant(Nop.Web.Models.QuickQuote)
quickquoteDBContext (Nop.Web.Models.QickQuote)
Razor (cshtml)
Reference script libraries
use layout Views=>Shared=>_ColumnsThree.cshtml

The Model code is as follows:

Models=>QuickQuote=>QickQuote.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Data.Entity;

namespace Nop.Web.Models.QuickQuote
{
    public class QuickQuote
    {
        public int ProductId { get; set; }
        public String Name { get; set; }
        public String OldPriceMP { get; set; }
        public String OldPrice { get; set; }
    }
    public class quickquoteDBContext : DbContext
    {
        public DbSet<QuickQuote> ProductVariant { get; set; }
    }
}

The Web.Config and RouteProvider code is as follows:

web.config

<connectionStrings>
<add name="quickquoteDBContext" connectionString="Data Source=(local);Initial Catalog=CorpWear265_Restore_TestAlt;User ID=sa;Password=H6web97!;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>

Infrastructure=>RouteProvider.cs

			//quickquotePage
            routes.MapLocalizedRoute("quickquotePage",
                            "QickQuote/",
                            new { controller = "quickquote", action = "Index" },
                            new[] { "Nop.Web.Controllers" });

The Menu code is as follows:

        <ul>
            <li><a href="@Url.RouteUrl("quickquotePage")"></a></li>

Thank you for your response.
The database CorpWear265_Restore_TestAlt.mdf is already constructed with
Table ProductVariant not QuickQuote.
The table structure is as below:
Thanks in advance.
id Int Primary Key
ProductId int
Name nvarchar(400) allow nulls
OldPrice decimal(18,4)
OldPriceMP navarchar(50)
The model code is below:

namespace Nop.Web.Models.QuickQuote
{
    public class QuickQuote
    {
        public int ProductId { get; set; }
        public String Name { get; set; }
        public String OldPriceMP { get; set; }
        public String OldPrice { get; set; }
    }
    public class quickquoteDBContext : DbContext
    {
        public DbSet<QuickQuote> ProductVariant { get; set; }
    }
}

Can you post a screen shot of the EDMX designer.

Thank you for the response.
I am using NopCommerce and do not think it has an EDMX file.
However, I placed public int Id { get; set; } in the model QuickQuote
public class QuickQuote
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public int ProductId { get; set; }
and now was able to build quickquoteController.cs
I get a new error in quickquoteController.cs as below:

Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Invalid object name 'dbo.QuickQuotes'.
Source Error: 
Line 16:         public ViewResult Index()
Line 17:         {
Line 18:             return View(db.ProductVariant.ToList());
Line 19:         }
Line 20:         // GET: /quickquote/Details/5
Source File: C:\Users\Ian\aaaNopComProjects\webApp-AltSourceFinal\Presentation\Nop.Web\Controllers\quickquoteController.cs    Line: 18

Sorry I did not know that NopCommerce is a product like Entity Framework. I do not have any knowledge of the product and how it works and would not be able to help, sorry.
