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 2985 reviews.

Purchased for my dad as a gift, kind of expensive but definitely worth it. Vyper Industrial is doing it right!! I Love that it’s made in the USA!!

ELEVATED STEEL MAX (EZ-LIFT)

The chair is noticeably better quality than any similar-usage chairs I saw on the sales floors of hardware stores. I am also swayed to purchase an item like Vyper when I see that it’s made in America. My husband was delighted when he got it for an early Christmas present!

ELEVATED STEEL MAX (EZ-LIFT)

Very well constructed and easy to assemble

Customer photo review of FORD MUSTANG® - RACE RED (ELEVATED)

Awesome shop chair. Heavy duty, comfortable, relatively easy assembly, and so pretty to look at. It’s going to outlast me for sure. Gonna have to put in the trust! 😉 Took me a while to decide to cry once but I’m very glad I did!

FORD MUSTANG® - RACE RED (ELEVATED)

Very nice built really well it sits in my shop and I sit in it every night after work. The only thing I have to say is I didn’t like spending $600 for this.

ELEVATED STEEL MAX (EZ-LIFT)

I was blown away by the quality and attention to detail of this chair. The price point is steep but it’s worth every penny. Well done to the folks at Vyper

ELEVATED STEEL MAX

The chair did not ship with the adjustable back rest I ordered. the back rest was back ordered. after sitting in it I canceled the back rest. I got a camo "limited edition". the seat is cloth, they may all be cloth. I thought a leather of pleather surface might stay cleaner. I will cover it when not in use to protect the seat from dust, sawdust, sanding dust and what not. It is a 600 buck chair and other than that it is great, comfortable, rolls and adjust easy. I will not be returning it. it lets me spend more time in my "hobby" shop.

REALTREE® - ORIGINAL CAMO (ELEVATED STEEL MAX)

The chair looks and feels like we expected. The specific seat adjustments will work great for my application. Fit was great. Assembly was straightforward and the chair feels like it can handle everything I expect of it. While doing it comfortably.

Customer photo review of REALTREE® - HYDRO - APX CAMO (ELEVATED STEEL MAX)

Absolutely love it and was fun to put together. Heavy duty, strong, no flex in the backrest, very minimal drop (1/2" or so) in the seat height when you sit on it. Make all black wheels/caster hardware and you'd really put these even farther above any competition!

REALTREE® - HYDRO - APX CAMO (ELEVATED STEEL MAX)

Preordered back in July as the color way seemed nice. Received it a little later than anticipated but I was excited nonetheless. Quality is great but a little disheartened the black powder coated foot rail was scuffed on the inner side of the ring right out of the box. It’s a bit disappointing considering there was supposedly a “quality check” before packing and shipping but apparently that’s not the case. For the $700 price of the chair, I’d expect better therefore my lower rating.

FREEDOM EDITION (ELEVATED MODEL)

Very sturdy, comfortable, and moves so smooth. And it comes with heavy duty hardware for assembly!

ELEVATED STEEL MAX (EZ-LIFT)

I reorder for the chair to lift easy because of my age i did not realize it did come with i am 75 year old but the chair is great it will work out great

ELEVATED STEEL MAX

Cant say enough how great these well designed and built chairs are. At 64 and retiring next year cant stay on my feet all day so these will help me work more comfortable as I'm starting to set up my dream shop in a 40x20 4 car garage. When my wife retires we plan to move to land with a much bigger shop so just got the bundle for now when i set up the full detailing area will be getting the low detailing chair and a few other accessory's. The blue matched my big Royal blue Snap On box and cart i will be bringing home in April

ULTIMATE EZ-LIFT PACKAGE

Really squeaky........over engineered......expensive.....but a very good product!

ELEVATED STEEL MAX

Customer photo review of ELEVATED STEEL MAX

Equal to all the hype! Heavy duty, and tall enough for my >6’ frame. Extremely well engineered. Expensive, yes - but when I discovered Vyper would honor my veteran status with an additional discount, I pulled the trigger. A great addition to my workshop!

ELEVATED STEEL MAX

Excellent build quality, reliable. Smooth tracking and locking. Thanks much.

ELEVATED STEEL MAX

I am handicapped and had to have someone assemble it for me and they felt the instructions could be a bit more detailed. I feel that it might improve sales if you offered factory assembly to those that need it at an additional price as well as extra for shipping. I would have gladly paid those charges instead of having to wait until i could get help with assembly.

ELEVATED STEEL MAX

Great product, better service. I have purchased 4 chairs. Will be adding more to my shop. Robbie Tedford Tedford Chevrolet Farmersville Tx

Customer photo review of FORD® BRONCO - AREA 51 (ELEVATED)

Assembly instructions on booklet were unclear, especially as bolt sizes were not specified on different steps. Needed to watch instructional video in conjunction to minimize the guesswork. Though after completing the assembly after a couple hours, it was worth the efforts. The castor wheels roll incredibly smooth, even on rough surfaces, yet I find the 2 locking castors do not effectively keep the chair from rolling even with both locked; perhaps a third locking castor can improve the effectiveness of keeping the chair stationary when needed. The industrial grade rolling chair has improved workplace ergonomics especially for fabrication welding.

FORD® BRONCO - AREA 51 (ELEVATED)

It has saved my back! I used to have 3 benches now I have the Vyper. A very stable chair. It is easy to adjust to the different levels. The only issue is that it rolls too easy. Which is not a problem with the chair, but my basement has a slight slope that the chair migrates to. Easily fixed by locking one of the wheels. Thanks, for a great product!

ELEVATED STEEL MAX

I repair old clocks. Some are shelf and some are wall models. The pendulum lengths vary. To reach the mechanisms I needed a chair that could adjust in several heights. The ELEVATED STEEL MAX (EZ-LIFT) was the perfect choice for my uses. It’s easy to adjust and always the right height.

ELEVATED STEEL MAX (EZ-LIFT)

Was really amazed with how steady the chair was being up so high and being able to move around the work bench. I got an extra chair for my wife to sit out in the barn while I am working and even, she is comfortable with getting off and on the chair. The only recommendation I would give would be to offer customized backs with names or his/hers in addition to the Vyper name.

ELEVATED STEEL MAX (EZ-LIFT)

Very disappointed on the floor tool plate it still has not arrived so I really can’t put the chair together until I receive that floor plate that I’ve already paid for. I’ve called and talked to someone and they said that they would get it out as soon as possible but still hadn’t received it but the other one that I have I love it. This is the second one I bought plus the floor, creeper and the the floor creeper hanger.

ELEVATED STEEL MAX

Love the casters. I can sit at a workbench when building components. I may add armrests. Impressive build quality.

ELEVATED STEEL MAX

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

The stool the wheels and hardware, are top quality! If you want the best get a Vyper!

ELEVATED STEEL MAX (EZ-LIFT)

Customer photo review of ELEVATED STEEL MAX

Great phone order, love chair only thing in need of replacement is back rest pad hard plastic doesn’t cover fabric tear marks when pulling fabric top left corner

ELEVATED STEEL MAX

I love the details and design of the stool. Only downside is that the seat cushion needs more density. If this is intended to be an ‘all day’ stool the padding leaves a bit to be desired. Other than that this thing is rock solid.

FORD® BRONCO - AREA 51 (ELEVATED)

Great product but would be nice if it had 3 brake rollers instead of just 2! Just not enough holding strength with 2.

ELEVATED STEEL MAX

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.

ELEVATED STEEL MAX (EZ-LIFT)

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.

ELEVATED STEEL MAX

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.

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.
