Overall rating: 4.8 / 5 from 298 reviews.

This was an addition to my chair my family purchased for me at Christmas. I also purchased the adjustable back rest. The instructions were easy to follow but the lack of instructions for the back rest was disappointing. Being 80 years old computers and Q codes do not impress me. After some questions to my self chair is complete and enjoyable to work on my 1934 Ford.

Customer photo review of ADJUSTABLE ARMREST

I like the functionality but I have to say installing was difficult because I wanted the armrest to be as close to the seat extensions as possible, which created resistance and getting the through bolts in for the armrest was very difficult. Also the thumb bolts for holding the armrest pad pads are too small to tighten adequately to lock the armrest in place. So they are always sliding around.

This is a fantastic accessory for the Vyper chair. The parts are made of heavy gauge steel, and there is flexibility in how wide the arm rests attach. This gives you plenty of room if you are on the wide side, and it will still be incredibly sturdy. My only regret is that I didn’t see the small hotlink on the ordering page to edit the order and change the color to match the rest of the chair. That’s O.K., I’ll get it right on the next chair!

this is a must for the chair I had purchased earlier; the arm rest brings stability & comfort to the chair when getting on & off the chair. without the arm rest I didn't feel comfortable getting on as I was afraid it would roll out from me. GREAT product Andy

ADJUSTABLE ARMREST

I like the chair very much. I have placed it in my model studio in front of my paint booth. I build plastic static models and it's a great addition to the studio. It's really more chair than I need but, I like the design and the way it's made. Great chair. Thanks, Bill Booth

It simply works, and doesn’t tip over. The quality is there and rolls easily. Exactly what I was looking for.

ADJUSTABLE ARMREST

It just makes my entire garage look very kool. Plus it is very comfortable to use.

ADJUSTABLE ARMREST

The armrest are fine. The knobs on the bottom don’t stay tight and I have one of the wheels on the chair that no matter what way I lock lock or unlock it it drags.

ADJUSTABLE ARMREST

i really like the arm rest because due to a medical condition I need the arms to assist me when I get up out of the chair. The only other thing that would improve on it would be that the side-kick could be used with it. Thanks for making a great product.

ADJUSTABLE ARMREST

I love my new shop chair. I want to make that perfectly clear. This review is simply to say that you shouldn’t have let me order both the cup and tool holder as well as the adjustable arms. Only one or the other can be used and give the number of bolts required to put this together it’s not a simple process to switch them out all the time.

ADJUSTABLE ARMREST

best shop chair I've bought in years.

ADJUSTABLE ARMREST

The chair was everything you would’ve wanted in a chair ! Mobility, comfort, and flexibility ! Love the chair !

I was very happy when Viper made available the color of my Tribute chair. It now goes above and beyond. Thank you for making U.S.A. Chairs and great other items.

TRIBUTE EDITION (ADJUSTABLE ARMREST)

Really good adjustment points. I wish the padding could’ve been a little thicker, but overall it’s really good unit.

TRIBUTE EDITION (ADJUSTABLE ARMREST)

Great addition to your Vyper chair!!

ADJUSTABLE ARMREST

Great Chair! I have the Robust steel EZ lift with Big Boy seat and the adjustable seat back with adjustable arm rests. I am using it for my office chair as I think it will be a better fit for comfort. So far I love it as it really helps my posture at the desk. I was a mechanic for 25 years before doing this work and wished for a chair like this numerous times. I will give another update once I have used it for a bit.

ADJUSTABLE ARMREST

Well built chair & very stable . Glad I got the big boy seat and arm rest. Had to move arm rest in a hole. Tight fit but it worked out.So far it’s being used as a computer chair in my wood shop. Might get the adjustable back rest in the future. It’s nice to spoil yourself every now and then. Wife will get over it someday. Ha!

LET'S TALK SHOP

Everything you need to know before you upgrade.

This is a big purchase. What if I'm not satisfied?

We get it. The price is more than you've spent on a shop chair/stool/cart before, and you can't sit in it before you buy it. That's why every Vyper purchase comes with a 30-day, 100% money-back guarantee. Roll it, sit in it, put it through a real weekend in your shop. If it's not what we said it was, send it back. We'll refund every penny and cover the return shipping.

The lifetime warranty on the frame, hardware, and casters covers you long after the 30 days are up. If you have questions before or after purchase, call (920) 301-3822 and you'll reach a real person at our Green Bay headquarters. Not a chatbot, not an offshore call center. The team that builds your chair is the team that picks up the phone.

We've built this so the risk is on us, not you.

How do I know which Vyper Chair is right for me?

Quick decision tree based on the work you do:

Working at standard workbench height? Robust Steel Max chair (or Robust Steel Pro stool if you don't need a backrest or adjustability).

Working at tall fab tables, weld benches, or counter-height workstations? Our Elevated Steel Max chair.

Detailing, polishing, or any work close to the ground? Low Pro stool. For ultra-low work (wheels, baseboards, lower body panels), pair it with a Mini Creeper.

Working under cars, trucks, or anything that needs an undercar position? Lay-Down Creeper. Foldable Creeper if you need a portable secondary.

Need mobile tool storage that rolls between bays? X32 Series Tool Cart.

Hot summers in the shop with no AC? Vyper Turbo Fan 24".

If your work cycles between multiple positions (which most working shops do), check our bundles. We've configured packages around the way buyers actually work.

Still unsure? Call us at (920) 301-3822. Real humans in Green Bay who can walk you through the right pick for your shop.

I already have a shop stool, why should I upgrade?

Honest answer: if your current stool works for you, doesn't hurt your back, doesn't tip when you reach, doesn't have foam that's flat, and isn't on its way to the dumpster within a year or two, you don't need to upgrade.

But that's not why most buyers come to us. Most buyers upgrade because they've owned three or four cheap stools at $80 to $150 each and they're tired of the cycle. Foam compresses. Wheels break. Frames bend. Welds pop. Within two years, the stool is junk and they're shopping again.

A Vyper chair starts around $475 and includes a lifetime warranty on the frame, hardware, and casters. Buy once. Sit comfortably. Stop replacing every couple of years. The math works out over a decade.

The other reason buyers upgrade: the cheap stool was hurting them. Bad foam, no lumbar support, low weight capacity, narrow seat. After 30 years of trade work, that stool wasn't doing them any favors. The Vyper is the chair that finally lets them keep working without paying for it the next morning.

Is Vyper actually made in the USA?

Yes. Every chair, stool, cart, and creeper is designed, welded, powder-coated, and assembled in Wisconsin. Built here, by Americans, on American soil.

The team that builds your equipment is the same team you'll talk to if you call customer service. Pioneering shop equipment manufacturing in the U.S. since 2020.

When you buy a Vyper, you're paying American workers, not subsidizing factories overseas. That matters to a lot of our customers. It matters to us too.

Are Vyper products good for older buyers, people with bad backs, or those with mobility issues?

A real pattern across our reviews: customers in their 60s, 70s, and 80s, customers with back surgeries, amputees, customers with sciatica, and customers with bad knees explicitly mention Vyper as the equipment that lets them keep working in the shop.

A few specific reasons why:

The Robust Steel Max and Elevated Steel Max chairs have lumbar-support backrests and 3.5-inch industrial foam seats. The smooth EZ-Lift height adjustment lets you dial in the exact position your back needs without fighting a stuck pin. The five-caster anti-tip base keeps the chair planted when you're sitting down or standing up.

The Big Boy attachment is the most-recommended upgrade for older buyers. The wider seat means you don't have to perfectly center yourself when sitting down, and the wider surface gives you leverage to push off when standing. Reviewers explicitly mention this as a confidence upgrade for buyers worried about getting in and out of the chair safely.

The Adjustable Armrest gives older buyers something solid to grip while sitting down or standing up. Multiple reviewers in their 70s and 80s call this a safety upgrade, not a comfort one. Customers with mobility limitations and amputees mention the armrests as the reason they can use the chair independently.

The Adjustable Backrest is the upgrade for buyers with sciatica, spinal surgeries, or chronic back issues. The height adjustment puts lumbar support exactly where it needs to be. The 10-degree tilt lets you change positions throughout the day instead of being locked into one angle.

The Mini Creeper and Low Pro stool keep you off the concrete for low work. Buyers who can't kneel anymore use these for the wheel detailing, brake jobs, baseboards, and outlet wiring that used to mean kneeling on the floor.

If you have specific concerns about whether a Vyper product is right for your situation, call us at (920) 301-3822 before ordering. Real humans in Green Bay who can talk through your specific needs and recommend the right configuration.

Gear worth your workspace.
