WANT TO BUY AMERICAN MADE
Every Vyper chair is designed, welded, powder-coated, and assembled in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Built here, by Americans, on American soil. When you buy an Elevated Steel Max, you're paying American workers, not subsidizing factories overseas. That matters to a lot of our customers. It matters to us too.
HAVE A WORKBENCH THAT'S TALLER THAN STANDARD
If you've welded your bench legs higher, built a fab table at counter height, set up a woodworking bench tall enough to save your back, or just always work at a standing-height setup, your shop chair was probably designed for a different bench than yours. The Elevated Steel Max sits where you work. Lumbar-support backrest, 3.5-inch foam, smooth glide so you're rolling between sections of a panel or stations on a bench instead of pushing yourself.
ARE TIRED OF STANDING ALL DAY ON SORE FEET
Tired feet, sore back, knees that start barking by 3pm. You wanted to sit, but a regular shop chair was too short, and the only seating that matched your bench height was a rickety stool with no back support. The Elevated Steel Max sits at the right height with the lumbar support and stability you actually need to work a full shift sitting down.
RUN A SHOP WHERE EVERY MINUTE MATTERS
If your team is welding, fabricating, woodworking, or running CNCs, you know what standing on tired feet does to productivity. Slower work, more breaks, sore backs the next day, and fewer jobs in the schedule. The Elevated Steel Max lets your guys sit through the work without losing height or stability. 400 lb capacity, anti-tip base, hand-welded in Wisconsin. The chair that keeps your shift on schedule.
Proudly American Made
Designed, manufactured, and packaged in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Every chair, every cart, every creeper.

Helpful Videos & Info
The first video shows what makes this edition different from anything we've ever made. The last three show how the chair is built and unboxed.
I bought the elevated max a year ago while my garage addition was being built. I just placed an order for another one so now when people stop by and help with projects I’m working on they can sit in a comfortable chair! These are the best built garage chairs I’ve seen.
Love the chair. Very sturdy and well made. The only drawback I have is that the seat back could be bigger. It doesn’t hit your back in the right spot and I almost fell out of the chair the first time I used it. I most likely will order the side arms for my birthday present in November.
Assembly was straightforward and easy. Without a doubt, the most comfortable chair I have ever owned. The chair elevates to a height that helps relieve the back pain I have suffered for the past 8 years.
Shop Diesel Mechanic Approved! Needed a seat with adjustable height for working low around equipment as well as elevated for working at my computer kiosk. I also weld regularly at the work bench, and this elevated model does it all. The EZ Lift makes elevation adjustments super quick, and the gas shock adds some suspension to the seat. Waited for some time to pull the trigger, but glad I finally did. This Area 51 Bronco edition looks awesome. Worth the money.
I was tired of the absolute GARBAGE for work bench seating I had been enduring at my place of employment for the past eight years.
I decided to investigate your product line of adjustable height work stools. The Elevated Steel Max fit the profile I was looking for.
I purchased the Elevated Steel Max along with the adjustable backrest and the extra wide seat option. I love it!
I appreciate completely the quality of design, engineering of components, and the fact that it is grown out of my childhood state of NE Wisconsin. Great job and excellent quality work stool! 😎👍🇺🇲
Straight forward assembly….except…the wheel assembly took much more force than I expected …rhe “newer” nuts were easy until the bolt contacted the “plastic “ locking material I was hesitant to proceed until I contacted your staff Definitely needed much more force
Also ….does the dial on the base of the seating cylinder serve any purpose?
Thanks
amazing quality of components. but i did have an issue with a hole pattern lining up while assembling the chair. the machining was off- i contacted them and they were willing to send new parts right away. high quality chair.
I bought the real tree camo viper chair. I wouldn’t normally spend so much on a shop chair but I’m retiring in a few months. Planning on spending a lot more time in my shop/studio. The chair very comfortable! Putting it together you can tell that all of the parts are high quality and well designed! Hopping to get years of enjoyment out of it! Thanks, Jay from St Paul
Th8s chair far excited my expectations. This chair is built to last. I'm a woodworker and this is a perfect fit in my shop. For the places I need to us a higher chair and a lower chair this is perfect. With all the colors and limited editions I want to become a VYPER chair collector now. Spend once and you'll never cry. Believe me, worth every penny.
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!
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.
Plus, Vyper Chairs are made in America! Check out our top selling chair here to learn more.
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.
Gear worth your workspace.
Build your dream garage with chairs, carts, creepers and fans that are guaranteed to outlast anything else in your shop.
