Stealth Standard vs. Stealth Pro: How to Know Which One Fits You
Share
Of all the questions we get about picking the right chair, this is the most common — and the good news is it has one clean answer. Deciding between the Stealth Standard and the Stealth Pro doesn't require a quiz, a size chart, or guesswork. It comes down to a single measurement: how tall you are.
Quick take
- Height is the only deciding factor between Standard and Pro — there is no weight cutoff.
- Under 6'0"? Stealth Standard. 6'0" or taller? Stealth Pro.
- Both models support up to 350 lbs — weight capacity is identical across sizes.
- What actually differs is seat size, piston height range, and chair weight.
The Only Question That Matters: How Tall Are You?
It's a common assumption that a "Pro" or "large" size model must be about weight capacity — that heavier users need the bigger chair. That's not how Stealth sizing works. Every Stealth chair, Standard or Pro, supports up to 350 lbs. The Standard and Pro are sized around body height and proportions, not body weight, because seat depth, backrest height, and piston range need to match how tall you are — not how much you weigh. There is no weight-based cutoff between the two models.
The rule is simple: if you're under 6'0", the Stealth Standard is built for your proportions. If you're 6'0" or taller, the Stealth Pro is built for yours. That's the entire decision.
| Stealth Standard | Stealth Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Users under 6'0" | Users 6'0" and taller |
| Seat size | 18.5" x 16.75" | 20.25" x 19.5" |
| Height range | 19"–25" | 22"–32" |
| Chair weight | 57 lbs | 59 lbs |
| Weight capacity | 350 lbs | 350 lbs |
| Piston heights included | 2 (Studio/Desk + Touring/Standing-desk) | 2 (Studio/Desk + Touring/Standing-desk) |
| Starting price | $599 | $749 |
Standard vs. Pro isn't about how much you weigh — both support up to 350 lbs. It's about your height, because that's what determines seat depth, backrest reach, and how far the piston needs to travel.
What's Actually Different Between Them
The two models differ in three concrete ways, all tied to accommodating a taller frame:
- Seat size: the Pro's 20.25" x 19.5" seat gives taller users more seat depth and width than the Standard's 18.5" x 16.75" — matching the proportionally longer legs and larger frame of a 6'0"+ user.
- Height range: the Standard's piston range of 19"–25" is built around shorter-to-average leg lengths. The Pro's 22"–32" range extends further to properly support taller users at both included piston heights.
- Chair weight: at 59 lbs versus the Standard's 57 lbs, the Pro is built slightly heavier — consistent with its larger frame, seat shell, and components sized for a taller build.
What doesn't change between them is weight capacity. Both the Standard and the Pro are rated to support up to 350 lbs, so a heavier user under 6'0" still belongs in the Standard, and a lighter user at 6'2" still belongs in the Pro. Height determines the fit; weight capacity is constant either way.

Shop Stealth Standard — $599 Shop Stealth Pro — $749What About the Executive Versions?
Both sizes are also available with a larger, executive-style backrest: the Stealth Standard Executive ($649) and the Stealth Pro Executive ($799). The height-based sizing rule works exactly the same way — Standard Executive for under 6'0", Pro Executive for 6'0"+. Choosing Executive is about backrest style and coverage, not a change to the height-based sizing decision. Pro and Pro Executive also include 4" TourMax casters in addition to the standard casters.
The Bottom Line
You don't need a quiz or a chart to figure out Standard versus Pro. Measure your height: under 6'0" means Standard, 6'0" or taller means Pro. Weight doesn't factor into the decision at all — every Stealth chair, regardless of size, is rated for up to 350 lbs. From there, the only remaining choice is whether you want the standard or executive backrest.
