Jensen Outdoor Governor Dining Arm Chair

Some outdoor chairs are built to last a season. This one is built to last a generation.

Part of Jensen Outdoor’s Classic Ipe Collection, the Governor Dining Arm Chair is handcrafted from solid, 100% FSC-certified Ipe timber — the same remarkably dense hardwood prized for decks and boardwalks that stand up to decades of weather. Its stately, slatted silhouette is a nod to simpler times, when furniture was made to be passed down rather than replaced. Pull it up to the table for a long Sunday dinner, or let it stand on its own as a quiet spot to linger after everyone’s gone inside.

The craftsmanship is in the details you feel before you notice them. Individual slats of Ipe are shaped into a gently slanted back and an ergonomically contoured seat, so comfort holds whether you’re dining or lounging. A fine-grain sanding technique gives the timber a smooth-as-glass hand finish, and metal joinery throughout means the chair stays solid and reassuring through years of being pulled out, scooted in, and leaned back in.

Ipe is the heart of why this chair lasts. Naturally strong and resistant to sun, moisture, and wind, it arrives a deep, chocolate brown that you can maintain over time — or simply let mellow into the elegant silver patina the wood is known for. Jensen Outdoor sources every piece from sustainably managed, dry tropical forests in Bolivia, so the beauty in your backyard doesn’t come at the forest’s expense. At a compact 24 inches wide, the Governor is right at home on smaller patios, balconies, and intimate dining nooks where every seat counts.

Buy it once. Gather around it for years.

Care

Clean as needed with a soft towel and mild dish soap, then rinse with water and allow to dry. To guard against water and food stains, apply Wood Shield to clean Ipe surfaces. Ipe naturally develops a silver patina outdoors; to restore the original chocolate-brown finish, clean and brighten with Penofin Pro-Tech, apply Penofin Verde Oil Finish as directed, then seal with Wood Shield.
