Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 6974 reviews.
Great product but would be nice if it had 3 brake rollers instead of just 2! Just not enough holding strength with 2.
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.
This is one chair that I feel will be around for a long time
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.
Solid well made chair that looks great and is comfortable.
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.
Love the chairs and carts! Everything is durable!
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.
Its nice. However the wheel locks i ordered did not work with it. They will not lock the wheel.
Best chair in my shop!!
great quality and awesome 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
The chair is outstanding. Very comfortable and heavy duty.
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.
Awesome chair. Well built and solid.
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.
Now I have both and I love them save my back
Very nice, comfortable seat. Works well in my home workshop.
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 !
My elevated chair came exactly as I expected, except The add ons came in all black ( adjustable back rest & adjustable arm rests) for my red chair.
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!
Quality speaks for itself in the quality bits that are used and how it pieces together. This is made to last and no regrets everytime it’s used.
At 81 years old I now have a comfortable chair in my shop !!! Best money I’ve spent in a long time
I like it all 😎
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.
Very very well designed
Csr very helpful and courteous 5Stars
Color is amazing. Heavy duty. Rolls so smooth.
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. Marine Vet
just put it together and used it afterwards. comfortable and sturdy!
Exactly what I was hoping for in my woodshop! Very comfortable, well built, stable and the right height for sitting at my workbench.
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!
Great chair. Super strong and well built.
Very high quality chair. Some parts came damaged, but they sent me a replacement after I contacted them. Customer care is great!
It is very comfortable, well-made, and easy to assemble. I am very satisfied with my purchase.
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.
