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.

Customer Reviews

Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 2909 reviews.

It is very comfortable, well-made, and easy to assemble. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

ELEVATED STEEL MAX (EZ-LIFT)

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.

Customer photo review of ELEVATED STEEL MAX (EZ-LIFT)

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.

ELEVATED STEEL MAX (EZ-LIFT)

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”.

ULTIMATE EZ-LIFT PACKAGE

Customer photo review of FORD® OVAL - FORD BLUE (ELEVATED)

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.

FORD® OVAL - FORD BLUE (ELEVATED)

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).

FORD MUSTANG® - RACE RED (ELEVATED)

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

ELEVATED STEEL MAX

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.

ELEVATED STEEL MAX

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!

ELEVATED STEEL MAX (EZ-LIFT)

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.

ELEVATED STEEL MAX (EZ-LIFT)

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.

ELEVATED STEEL MAX

I bought this to use in my home kitchen as a seat while I cook……I really like the height adjustment lever on the chair. It meets all my expectations. Although pricey the build quality is excellent.

ELEVATED STEEL MAX (EZ-LIFT)

The quality of the build is evident right out of the box. Vyper really over designed these chairs. I was extremely impressed at how all of the legs aren't just bolted to the base, but also interlock together. If I ever have to replace my elevated steel it will be with another Vyper.

ELEVATED STEEL MAX (EZ-LIFT)

It is a great chair. The only issue that I see is the instructions and videos need updated and explained better. The videos only show 1 style of the chair not the most up to date. Also the instructions for the address ons need to be videod as well. For the adjustable back and arms. I don't mean any negativity on it they're a great chair.

ELEVATED STEEL MAX

You buy a $600 dollar chair and they don't even send you all of the bolts in the package. Bags of bolts came destroyed, missing parts. Will not be buying anything from here again. This should've been marked as used. Unreal

ELEVATED STEEL MAX

Seems to be a good chair. Instructions aren’t too bad just gotta make sure when you put that foot ring on you got all the connections on the right side and not mixing them up. You’ll run out of room for your tension bars anyway I haven’t got to use it that much but I like it. I got the big boy seat have not installed it. I think I have to take something apart to put that on. But the bracket to hold the seat . And to sit on hydraulic lifter . Difficult at least for me to bolts together. There’s not really room to do it. Maybe the brackets were spread apart a little bit it be easy. That being said that’s why I have not bothered to install the fat boy seat because I don’t wanna go through that again. I am not a mechanic and this is not for any kind of work. I just needed a tall chair to sit at my drafting table for with my little projects. I just couldn’t see spending $200 on an office chair so that’s why I got this. And it does like to roll around real fast . Yes you gotta be careful in my old age that I don’t have it shoot out from underneath me when trying to sit. Yes I’m aware of the brakes on the wheels. Anyway feels like a solid product. I’m glad I purchased.

ELEVATED STEEL MAX (EZ-LIFT)

nice sturdy chair i really like them i bought 2

ELEVATED STEEL MAX

The chair is very well built and easy to assemble. Just remember to install the two locking casters next to each other. The thick seat cushion plus lumbar back support makes it easy to stay comfortable while working in my shop. -Phil

ELEVATED STEEL MAX (EZ-LIFT)

Dayne sent me a $100 coupon and wasn't allowed to use it, even though I bought 2 chairs....very disappointing...

FORD® OVAL - FORD BLUE (ELEVATED)

The quality of the chair and arm rest add on is exceptional. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. I have one suggestion: The chair arrived about two weeks prior to the arm rest. I assumed that it may require some disassembly to add the arm rest later, but it would have been helpful to call that out so I could have avoided some extra effort.

RUPTURE EDITION (ELEVATED MODEL)

You are not going to find a better-built chair; this thing is a tank.

ELEVATED STEEL MAX (EZ-LIFT)

Tolerance of craftmanship was surprisingly accurate, a pleasurable experance to assemble,

ULTIMATE EZ-LIFT PACKAGE

Haven't put it together yet but will send pics when its all together!

ELEVATED STEEL MAX (EZ-LIFT)

I do like the chair, but I thought it would go down a few more inches. I think I should have ordered a shorter chair - but I am making it work.

ELEVATED STEEL MAX (EZ-LIFT)

Very well built easy to put together very comfortable.

ELEVATED STEEL MAX

Very nice chair overall. Sturdy as heck and rolls like a dream. I also purchased the tool tray and big boy seat addition. For some reason, Vyper wants the lower sheet metal reinforcement brackets installed that so they they impede into the tool tray. Not sure why they do this so I just flipped them 180 degrees to match the profile of the foot bar. I have a stool and a chair and chose the acme rod. This leaves a large hole in the middle of the tool tray! I removed the large rubber grommet from the middle of the tool tray and measured the hole at 2.875" I found a black plastic plug by "Caplugs" at 3.00" that fits the hole perfectly and installed them from the bottom on the chair and stool. If someone screws the acme rod down too far, it just pops out the plug without causing any damage. Vyper should really include one of these plugs with each tool tray in case you are not using the pneumatic height adjustment. They are dirt cheap. If someone screws the acme rod down too far, it just pops out the plug without causing any damage. On both my stool and chair the aluminum compression collar holes and the holes in the pentagon do not line up correctly. I had to drill out the holes on the collar flange about .040" (1mm) on this one to get the assembly together. I would also recommend taking a needle grease adapter on your grease gun and give each caster swivel bearing a little pump of grease 180 degrees apart. They are not dry, but a little shy of my preference. All in all a great chair. I would definitely recommend to others.

ELEVATED STEEL MAX

Alex Bowman Elevated is an absolute work of art that’s built better than anything I own! It’s functional and the perfect height for my work tables. The design and craftsmanship is second to none. Well worth the money and is definitely built to last a lifetime!!

NO. 48 ALEX BOWMAN EDITION (ELEVATED)

Glad that I purchased the elevating chair, while putting the chair together the quality of the product you built was undeniable, it brought me back to what made in the USA was all about. Everything fit perfectly it was a pleasure to put it all together. I was also impressed with the larger seat and the adjustable arms, with that combination I can really feel the comfort and stability of the chair which I need for my physical condition. I now own both the chair and the stool. They are a great addition to my garage and I know I won’t be concerned with either of them breaking down on me. Thank you for taking the time to build a. quality product.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you upgrade.

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.

Gear worth your workspace.

Build your dream garage with chairs, carts, creepers and fans that are guaranteed to outlast anything else in your shop.
