Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 7406 reviews.
Great product. Love it. Easy to assemble.
I’d send a pic but there was a delay on my accessory tool tray so it’s not completely assembled yet. I absolutely love the chair it’s top quality bar none. It’s an industrial piece of art I am totally satisfied!
Love the orange
I'm an 81 year old male, 6-0, 200 pounds in fairly good physical shape, except for some back problems. Putting air in my truck's tires required more bending than I would have liked and was in pain with some loss of mobility for the next three days. I tried three cheaper shop stools but none of them were very substantial. I decided to give Vyper a chance and ordered the Robust Steel Max (Ez -Lift). The package the ROBUST STEEL MAX (EZ-LIFT) was in showed up in a reasonable time. I found that all the parts were there, checking it against the parts list in the instructions. There are lots of bolts and nuts, different sizes, each size comes in its own bag. Unfortunately, none of them have a description in the instructions but the diagrams in the instructions list the part numbers of everything, including the nuts and bolts, that correspond with the part numbers on each bag; the description is on the bag along with the part numbers. I found watching the assembly video a great guide in what size nuts/bolts are being used to connect what together. This would be easier to deal with if the instructions used a LARGER font so a magnifying glass hadn't been needed. Assembly took around an hour. Nothing was difficult although tightening the nuts and bolts sometimes took a bit more force than I thought they would. I called Vyper twice and spoke to Ryan and Stephanie, both knowledgeable, very pleasant and extremely helpful. They took as much time as was needed and didn't try to rush to get to the next call as a lot of customer service people tend to do. The day after assembly was completed, I needed to put air in one of my cars. I sat on the chair, easily locked the two locking wheels (I was on a driveway with a moderate incline), put air into the tires as needed, easily released the locks on the wheels and easily rolled to the next tire until all four had the correct amount of air. What a difference using my new Vyper made! The seat went up and down effortlessly and the wheels moved smoothly and bumped over the air hose with no problem. Best of all, no back pain when I was done.
Great chair. I struggled with which height to buy and almost bought one of each sine there was a significant savings if you bought both together. I made a mistake when I only bought one. I should have grabbed them both.
Packaging was flawless. All parts individually packaged for easy identification during assembly. Only thing I would change is to package the seat back better. If you were to be careless with a box cutter you could accidentally cut the seat back as it was loose in the box up near the top of the box. Glad I carefully used a box cutter in case this was the case which it was.
Fedx delivers it, took about 45 minutes to put together, wow this thing looks really well made, looks great in the red, Roll TIDE! Anyway got it together and rolling around and working on my zero turn, lot’s better than my old chair! Way better!! Will probably get picked first when I kick the bucket 😂 Would like to see a wider backrest but all and all just a great chair ❤️
What a fantastic quality shop chair! It completely exceeded my expectations. From the excellent cushions down to the grade 8 hardware, this thing is stout. It is the finest shop chair I’ve ever had the privilege of plopping me ars on. It’s the kind of equipment that will be passed to my son when I’m gone and he will be plopping his ars on. Bravo Vyper and thank you for your excellence!
I purchased the Ultimate EZ Lift Package with the taller chair & shorter chair. Very happy with both, I do like having 5 wheels and the way the bracing is made which makes it very strong and stable. Chairs are too nice to take to the shop, I put them together in the living room, wife said take them to the shop not staying in the house. Lol Got to admit I did cry once when I first purchased them but after I started receiving all the emails letting me know they received the order, now packing one of them, now packing the second chair and told me when they would ship and when I would receive it, I started getting excited. They came in 4 different boxes and delivered all the same day. What they say is true “Cry once & Buy once”.
Took a while to talk myself into the purchase but I’m definitely happy I finally did it! Super comfortable and sturdy, looking forward to many years of use.
Best investment I've made in a long time. The quality and workmanship of these chairs are top shelf. Easy to assemble and everything lined up perfectly. I did break a bolt using power tools when the instructions clearly recommended not using them. Lesson learned. I am considering ordering some accessories like the bottom tray adjustable back rest. If they are built anything like the chairs it will be money well spent.
I bought it. Yes, it’s a darned expensive chair, but there is no alternative that offers this level of quality and comfort. It is a welcome addition to my garage.
I purchased the Robust Steel Max DIY bundle and all I can say is wow. Being a woodworker I don't fall into their typical demographic but it feels absolutely amazing during my marathon sanding sessions compared to a typical shop stool.
Very nice chair, went together well with very thing needied. =========
Went together very easily but, one lower bolt thread on the bottom center seat support stripped out with very little torque. Very comfortable. But will need to helicoil the stripped out bolt thread.
Nice chairs! Lengthy time between order and delivery.
After researching all the shop chains on the internet I settled on this one as the best choice. Before I bought this one I had one that I tipped over backwards twice. Not fun at 73 or any age. This chair is worth every penny for 3 reasons. First it is totally safe with its wider base and excellent smooth casters. Second it’s highly functional with its lift mechanism and locking casters. Third it’s made in America and I appreciate the ability to support fellow Americans.
Very comfortable, well made
Love the chair. Great quality. All parts were included. Clear assembly instructions. High quality hardware. No galled bolts or nuts. High quality paint.
This chair meets my high expectations.
sets to low need 2 more inches
Perfection!
Packaged: extremely well. None should arrive damaged. Assembly: very easy to assemble with basic tools. Rugged Quality: appears to be a piece of shop equipment that will last for years. Very well designed and constructed. Value: I thought the purchase price of over $600.00 was excessive. If you’re expecting something special you’ll be disappointed. In my opinion, next time I’ll save a few hundred dollars and probably get something of the same caliber.
These are high quality shop stools. I have used both of these in my garage. I added a tool tray to the chair, a good add. I think I’ll add the expanded seat at some point. I am very happy with this purchase, it was expensive, but the quality is definitely there. I have no regrets on spending the money. These will last well past my time.
Easy to build , instructions perfectly written. And a joy to use.i will be recommending it to my friends.
I debated for a long time on buying one of these, I’m a bigger guy who owns a detailing business I’ve gone through a couple rolling chairs. I finally decided to buy one and do not regret it whatsoever, it rolls really really good, the easy up is really nice. The chair gets low enough to sit comfortably doing lower parts of vehicles. I will say I am a bigger guy so I do sink through the pad pretty easy, I plan on buying the “big boy” attachment eventually which would make this chair perfect. Overall really happy with it.
I won't be able to improve on the many reviews about this chair, but I will say you can just feel its quality as you are assembling it: everything fits perfectly and it's a tank. I've been using it for a few weeks now and am so happy I bought it coming from a $55 Amazon special. It's pricey, no doubt, but will truly be with me forever.
Solid, pass on to the next generation quality. Finally, my back doesn't hurt for hours on a stool. American quality! Job well done Viper!
Love the stool. I'm a retired machinist/welder at 76 I still have a shop. Outstanding design and workmanship. I didn't know you had different models. I should have ordered the Elevated Steel Max EZ-Lift. The Robust is perfect for working on vehicles and trailers. The Elevated stool is ideal for the work bench. Just got to talk my wife into it.
everything it advertises and more. After a lot of junk from China, this is amazing.
Came very quickly excellent shipping and email updates. Very simple to assemble I followed the You Tube video while assembling. Great chair and comfortable in and out of the garage.
We'll built, American made and comfortable. The back support works great for me.
Perfectly packaged in a protective and well organized system. Easy to follow assembly instructions. Parts fit perfectly. Easy to adjust to the needs of the task at hand. High quality and worth the price.
Awesome chair!!
Bought a chair for my husband and kept it a secret till it was due to arrive and then told him I ordered it for him. He was very pleased. He told me that he had been looking at them for weeks but couldn’t justify the cost. I told him I had been looking at them also and wanted him to be safe while cleaning his car and motorcycle. The chair is everything you could want in comfort and stability. He loves it. I loved ordering secretly.❤️❤️
After buying my 1st Vyper chair, the Tribute chair came out. Being an Army Veteran, I had to get the 2nd best chair out there for my garage. Love them both so much
I wanted a viper shop chair for years and my wife finally told me that for my birthday to go for it. It’s everything I hoped for with one exception. My current shop chair is just an old office chair and the seat is deeper. Which means with the viper chair and the non-adjustable backrest causes it to hit me in the in a lower back, which is uncomfortable and taking a bit to get used to. I didn’t foresee this issue, but in general, I really like the chair and it’s mobility, and I love the tool tray in the base..
It's very comfortable. And as advertised it rolls over anything. I don't have to worry about falling anymore. I'm very pleased with this purchase..it didnt take but a day of using it to get over the sticker shock very happy thanks.
First of all to all the people who designed this chair you did a great job.All the materials used are quality and made with heavy duty steel where it is needed. I would highly recommend this chair to anyone looking for a quality shop chair. I am looking forward to buying some of the accessories that are available for this chair as well.Thanks to all of you at Vyper for designing such a quality chair.
I purchased one of the Special Edition Rupture Chairs along with some accessories and waited anxiously as it was produced and shipped. When the final package arrived, I pulled everything out and began the assembly, which was fairly easy. Once it was all together I used it for almost the entire day. I decided It would be more comfortable with the side extensions for the seat, so I ordered the Big Boy kit, which was delivered in a couple of days. I installed it yesterday, and what a difference! It is certainly a great addition to my workshop that will be utilized daily.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you upgrade.
What does a Vyper bundle include and how much do I save?
Vyper bundles are pre-configured packages of chairs, stools, creepers, carts, and accessories, paired the way buyers actually work, with savings up to $475 versus buying the components individually. Current bundles include the Complete Package, Fully Loaded Robust Steel Max, Fully Loaded Elevated Steel Max, Ultimate EZ-Lift Package, Elite Trio Package, Mechanics Bundle, DIY Bundle, Low-Pro Package and Dream Garage Bundle.
Each bundle is built around a specific use case, a detailer's setup, a mechanic's setup, a tall-workstation setup, a complete multi-position setup, so you don't have to figure out which accessories pair with which chair. The bundle is the workstation, fully spec'd.
Which Vyper bundle is best for a professional mechanic?
The Mechanics Bundle is configured specifically for working mechanics who cycle between multiple positions throughout the day. It pairs a Robust Steel Max (or Elevated Steel Max) for bench and workstation seating with a Lay-Down Creeper for undercar work and the accessories that turn each into a productive workstation.
For shops that also need mobile tool storage between bays, the Dream Garage Bundle adds the X32 tool cart and additional accessories. The Vyper team at (920) 301-3822 will configure a custom bundle if a stock package isn't a perfect fit for your workflow.
Which Vyper bundle is best for a detailer?
The Low-Pro Package and Complete Package are the most popular detailer bundles. They pair the Low-Pro stool (built for close-to-ground polishing, paint correction and PPF work) with a Sidekick tool tray and the accessories detailers actually use, cup holder, spray bottle holder, polisher holder.
For a fully equipped detailing setup including a creeper for wheel and rocker panel work, add the Mini Creeper. Detailers who work both inside and outside the shop often pair the Low-Pro Package with a Vyper Turbo Fan 24" for airflow during summer paint correction sessions.
Can I customize a Vyper bundle, or do I have to buy the pre-set package?
Yes. Vyper builds custom bundles by phone. Call (920) 301-3822 and a specialist will configure a package around your specific shop, work style and budget. The pre-configured bundles are the most popular pairings, not the only options.
If you need a chair, a creeper and a fan but no cart, Vyper will build that. If you need three Low-Pros for a detailing team, Vyper will price that as a custom multi-unit bundle. The pre-set bundles exist to make the decision easy for buyers who don't want to think about it.
Are Vyper bundles a good gift for a mechanic, dad, or shop owner?
Yes. Bundles are the most-purchased product category for gift buyers because they ship as a complete setup. The recipient unboxes a chair plus the accessories that turn it into a full workstation, not "a chair plus a list of accessories I should buy later."
Spouses, parents, kids, and friends shopping for a Vyper as a gift consistently land on the Complete Package or the Fully Loaded Robust Steel Max for this reason. Free shipping in the contiguous U.S., 30-day money-back guarantee and lifetime warranty on the steel frame mean it's a low-risk gift even at a higher price point.
What's the return policy on a Vyper bundle?
Vyper bundles ship with a 30-day, 100% money-back guarantee, identical to individual product purchases. If the bundle isn't right for your shop, send it back within 30 days and Vyper refunds the full purchase price.
The lifetime warranty on the steel frame, hardware, and casters applies to every product in the bundle. 5-year coverage on cushions, mechanisms, and finish.
Do Vyper bundles ship as one package and how long does delivery take?
Bundles typically ship in 2 to 4 boxes depending on the configuration, chairs and stools ship in their own boxes, the X32 tool cart ships flat-packed and accessories ship together. All packages typically arrive within 3 to 7 business days of order date for contiguous U.S. delivery.
Bundles ship from Green Bay, Wisconsin. Tracking is provided for every package. If a bundle arrives with anything missing, damaged, or wrong, call (920) 301-3822 and a real person at the headquarters picks up.
Gear worth your workspace.
Build your dream garage with chairs, carts, creepers and fans that are guaranteed to outlast anything else in your shop.
