Jensen Outdoor Opal Dining Side Chair

A dining chair should disappear into the moment — comfortable enough to forget you’re sitting in it, beautiful enough that you notice when it’s gone.

Part of Jensen Outdoor’s Opal Collection, the Opal Dining Side Chair earns its place at the table with clean lines, transitional styling, and one quiet flourish: an open-O cutout crowning the upper backrest, shaped to echo the precious stone the collection is named for. It’s the kind of detail that draws a second look without ever shouting for it — artisan craftsmanship expressed in solid, 100% FSC-certified Ipe timber.

The construction is built to be handed down. Individual slats of Ipe are shaped into a gently contoured seat and a matching backrest, joined with traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery that keeps the silhouette sleek while holding everything rock-steady through years of family dinners. A smoothly sanded finish means the wood feels as considered as it looks, from the armrests you don’t have to the edges you’ll run a hand along on a slow evening.

Ipe is what lets this chair age so gracefully. Naturally strong and resistant to weather, sun, moisture, and wind, it arrives a deep chocolate brown you can preserve with simple care — or let it mature into the luminous silver patina the wood is celebrated for. Jensen Outdoor sources every piece from sustainably managed, dry tropical forests in the heart of Bolivia, so a chair built to last generations is gentle on the forests that made it. And because it’s an armless side chair, it tucks close to the table and slips more seats around the edges — pair it with the Opal Arm Chair at the heads and you’ve set the scene for a long, lingering meal.

Buy it once. Set a place for everyone.

Care

Clean as needed with a soft towel and mild dish soap, then rinse with water and allow to dry. Apply Wood Shield to clean Ipe surfaces to guard against water and food stains. 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.
