This Labor Day, we’re celebrating the people behind the work with something built for them. Grind is a limited edition release created to celebrate the people who keep America moving. Inspired by the builders, tradesmen, and hardworking Americans, Grind combines premium craftsmanship with rugged design.
Available in two colorways, the satin clear powder coat keeps the steel and welds visible, putting the fabrication and craftsmanship on display, while the orange finish offers a hardworking aesthetic. Both feature a distressed brown seat and custom limited edition Grind badge. Built to work as hard as you do.
Satin Clear Finish Disclaimer: The satin clear powdercoat finish intentionally leaves the steels, welds, and manufacturing marks visible. Variations in color, texture, and surface character are inherent to the fabrication process and make each Grind chair unique. These are not defects, but a reflection of the craftsmanship behind every chair.
⏱ Presale ends September 13th at 11:59:59 PM PST.
------------------------------------
The chair that matches your bench. You've got a workbench that's taller than standard. Maybe you welded the legs higher because your back can't handle hunching anymore. Maybe your fab table sits at counter height, your woodworking bench is built tall, or you're at a reloading bench, a TIG setup, or a workstation that wasn't designed for a regular shop chair. The Elevated Steel Max sits where you work, with the same anti-tip base and lifetime steel as the Robust Steel Max, just taller.
And if you're running a shop where your guys are welding, fabricating, or working on standing-height benches, the Elevated Steel Max is the chair that lets them sit through the work instead of standing on tired feet for eight hours.
What You'll Love
Sits taller for fab tables, weld benches, woodworking benches, and standing-height workstations
Sturdy, anti-tip base that rolls over extension cords, zip ties & rough floors
Smooth gas cylinder EZ-Lift height adjustment in one motion
3.5-inch industrial grade foam seat that holds shape for years
Flame-retardant seat, frame, and casters built for the welder's environment
Lumbar-support backrest dialed to the right spot
400 lb weight capacity with zero flex
Two locking casters for safety when you need the chair to stay put
Lets you sit through the work instead of standing all day
Hand-built in America (Green Bay, WI) with a lifetime warranty on the frame & casters

Limited Lifetime Warranty
You've been burned by warranties before. The fine print, the runaround, the chatbot that loops you back to FAQs. That's not how Vyper works. Steel frame, hardware, and casters are covered for life. Cushions, mechanisms, and everything else are covered for 5 years. If something fails, give us a call (920) 301-3822 or email sales@vyperindustrial.com and a real person at our Green Bay headquarters picks up. Someone that knows the products and can help you along the way. We stand behind every shop chair we ship.
This Viper product is incredibly well built and a great addition to my wood shop! I do have a couple of suggestions however.
1. The written instructions were pretty much useless. The video instructions were very helpful however. I prefer well written instructions because I have to keep starting and stopping the videos as I progress.
2. My kit had a couple small packages of nuts and washers that were left over when I finished and were not included in the listed in the "parts included".
3. All of the parts were well protected in the shipping box and arrived with no damage however the use of the large amount of white styrofoam used was disappointing. Apart from the environmental concerns about this "forever plastic" it is a huge pain to break up and put in the garbage with tiny pieces floating around every where! The garbage truck lifts the can up into the truck and invariably small pieces fly out and litter the area. This forces me to break it all up and put in garbage bags before putting in the garbage can. PLEASE consider going to one of the bio degradable paper based products that many other companies are now using.
The chair was easy to put together, all metal was deblurred before powder coating , all hardware was in number seal bags for easy installation. Purple and matte black looks great , seat and backrest and with added purple stitching shows USA quality workmanship. Five caster systems = STABLE ! Would like to see added height for more adjustment and have the option for matching color for the adjustable back rest. Thanks to the Viper Team !
Robust, wonderful engineering and the most sturdy chair I’ve ever owned! Beautiful design, tops it off with a ford logo! Very cool and super comfortable! Practical and a lifetime chair. Love the casters too! Bam you nailed it Viper!
Absolutely as advertised ! beautifully built, heavyweight quality, Glides on the floor like a hovercraft!
Assembly is well laid out, but that said -you will have to allocate patients in time. ( well I did ) .
Great Quality! If the hydraulic piston seems like it’s aircraft quality.
Absolutely love my Vyper chairs that I bought for my Welding shop. All of my employees like them too. In the past few months I have bought about 10 chairs if not more. I even stopped in Kaukauna, WI and bought a chair off the show room floor and ordered another one besides that one! Vyper chairs are nice, heavy duty chairs and have many colors to choose from!
Great stool. Very comfortable. The back could be a bit wider. And it would be great if there was some sort of handle you could grab to temporarily lock the wheels while you sit down on it so it doesn’t tend to go scooting away from you. It’s much better than the old stationary four legged high top chair that I was using before.
The elevated steel max is killer old school material turned into a modern design. I really am impressed by how solid and well built it is. Nothing chintzy like the imported crap from overseas. It’ll outlast me and probably my grandkids. I admit I choked for a bit at the price, but I’m all about Made in the USA and not the least bit disappointed, quite to the contrary, I really love it. The Vyper crew can really be proud of this high quality product, well worth the investment IMHO.

Really impressive build. Is it at comfortable as my recliner? Of course not! Is it much better thant he hard wooden stool I stole out of the kitchen that I was informed needed to be returned? Yes!
Fantastic engineering! You need true focus when putting it together. Any mistakes are miserable to correct because of all the bolts. Sense of accomplishment when done was enough to bury the frustration. Sturdy, well built and rolls well.
Structurally the chair is excellent. It takes a while to decipher and get in tune with the instructions. It was necessary to read all brochures for everything I purchased before it made sense. But once that was done it went smoothly. I am disappointed in the quality of the casters. I had 2 that wouldn’t turn because the bolt was too tight and the brake tab on one was bent and had to be straightened and adjusted. But it all worked out.
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”.
What a chair!! From the packaging to rolling around this is a great chair. I really couldn't afford this chair it was a "I want one to see what it is" kind of buy. It turns out to be a good buy. The build quality is unmatched and very appealing to the eyes. It stands out in my garage, The material used is again just plain great. The only thing I would want for my chair as an extra is the adjustable back rest brace, They don't have any in the FORD blue at the moment and hope you all get back to me when its done. Very very nice chair. Thank you for such a study and good looking chair.
should have ordered all of the accessories at the same time. Oh well I have them now, wish I could get some kind of discount on the last thing I need, the big boy seat. After all this chair will be $1300.00 (close).
If I would have had a chance to see and sit in one first, I would not have bought one. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case. So even after researching and feeling good about purchasing one, I'm still disappointed in my purchase.
The main reason is the product is completely overpriced. I would put a retail value of $395 to $495 depending on model of chair or stool. Then, even though all the specs were disclosed, the seat and backrest could stand to be a bit wider just for that added comfort.
The construction should last a lifetime for me as a DIY'er. The instructions for assembly could use better detail, especially if one is not mechanically inclined!!
Respects,
Mike
I bought the tall stool for hubby. I had to put a blanket over it, just to bring it in the house. It’s a Christmas present. I couldn’t lift it, hence the blanket. Hubs is 76, this will be a fabulous helper.
I absolutely love the chair, can tell its made with pride. Only thing I didn't like when assembling was the bags of hardware weren't labeled very good, I definitely might have overlooked something. Like maybe say you need 2 bolts out of bag B or something. I figured it out and the chair is amazing.
Thanks!
Bought this because I own a gun store and got tired of trying to find a good Amazon option. Ran across these on social media, click bait got the best of me and after about a week of pondering I pulled the trigger. My counter at the shop is 42" tall (taller than most). So far I've had this thing for 2 days and it is SOLID. Love that it came with 2 locking casters. love the height adjustment and the foot rail is in the perfect spot. My butt is in this thing for a solid 6 hours a day so it's game changer.
Worth the money.
i struggled with finding the right product with the features that would come with it. It would’ve been a quicker decision on which product to purchase if there was a screen that showed all of the chairs in the category on a single sheet with their names below those pictures you might have already done that, but for someone who’s not computer savvy, it took a while to access that information. The product is very well built, and the instructions were easy to understand assembly.
This is a big purchase. What if I'm not satisfied?
Everything you need to know before you upgrade. If these don't answer your questions, please reach out to us at sales@vyperindustrial.com or call us at (920) 301 3822
I already have a shop stool, why should I upgrade?
If you're like us, you've more than likely either tipped over from hitting a crack or experience annoying back / knee pain from an uncomfortable stool.
Vyper Chairs (and our entire product line) were strategically designed to help reduce fatigue while working, help prevent from tipping over while rolling, and provide comfort for long working durations.

What is a Vyper limited edition?
A Vyper limited edition is a one-time small-batch run of an existing product (chair, stool, creeper, or cart) in a named colorway, finish, or collaboration design, for example: Ghoul (glow-in-the-dark), Phantom (color-shift chameleon), Sublime (green), Voodoo, Scorch, Joker, Vein, Tribute (military canvas), and Warrior 2.0 (hot pink).
We also have an existing line of collaborations with Vyper x Realtree® and Vyper x Hendrick Motorsports that are always available.
Each limited edition features unique embroidery, custom badges, exclusive stickers and a specific colorway you won't find in the standard lineup. The underlying build (steel frame, casters, foam, mechanisms, capacity, warranty) is identical to the standard product.
Will sold-out Vyper limited editions ever come back?
Once a Vyper limited edition sells out, it does not restock. That's the point, small batch, no second runs. Buyers who miss a drop have to wait for the next release, which will be a different colorway or collaboration entirely.
There are two different styles of limited editions: time based and quantity based.
Some editions we will run where it’s first come first serve (quantity based). Other times we will run a limited colorway for a certain amount of time (time based). If you miss the cutoff, there’s no going back.
Occasionally we will re-release a previously sold-out edition as a special return (for example, "Scorch, Joker, Volt, Shocker and Viola are back" was a one-time encore drop, called out as a last-chance opportunity). But the default policy is one-and-done. If you see a limited edition in stock and you want it, lock it in.
Are limited edition Vyper chairs different from regular chairs in build quality?
No. The build is identical to the standard product. A limited edition Robust Steel Max is the same Robust Steel Max underneath: same powder-coated steel frame, same 3.5" industrial foam, same lumbar-support backrest, same 400 lb capacity, same 5-caster anti-tip base, same lifetime warranty on the frame.
What changes is the finish: custom powdercoat color, custom embroidery, custom badges, and specific accent colors on hardware and stitching. You're getting the same chair Chip Foose, Jay Leno and Gas Monkey Garage use, just in a finish that won't be made again.
Are limited edition Vyper chairs different from regular chairs in build quality?
The fastest way is signing up for the Vyper email list and following @vyperchair on Instagram and YouTube, limited editions are announced usually 1 to 2 weeks before the drop with the exact date and time. Most drops go live at 9 AM CST on the announced date.
High-demand drops frequently sell out within hours. Customers on the email list get the announcement first, which is the difference between getting the chair and not.
Can I add custom accessories to a limited edition chair and do they ship with the same accessories as the standard model?
Yes. Limited edition chairs are compatible with the full Vyper accessory lineup (armrests, backrests, EZ-Lift, Big Boy attachment, tool trays, footrails, Sidekick). Many limited editions offer matching-color accessories during the drop window; once the drop closes, accessories may only be available in standard colors.
