Jensen Outdoor Richmond Dining Side Chair

The best chairs are the ones nobody wants to get up from.

Part of Jensen Outdoor’s Richmond Collection, the Richmond Dining Side Chair brings a note of relaxed, traditional elegance to the patio and poolside — the kind of seat that turns a quick weekend barbecue into a long afternoon of lingering at the table. Its angled backrest and supportive seat are formed from individual slats of solid, 100% FSC-certified Ipe timber, resting on sturdy, sculptural legs that look as good as they hold up.

The craftsmanship is the quiet kind that lasts. Linear Ipe slats give the contoured backrest and seat both structure and a timeless look, while mortise-and-tenon joinery keeps every surface smooth and refined — no visible hardware to interrupt the lines. A fine-grain sanding technique finishes the timber smooth as glass, so the wood feels as warm under your hand as it looks across the patio.

Ipe is why a chair like this earns a place in the family for decades. Naturally strong and built to shrug off weather and wear, it arrives a deep chocolate brown you can keep up with minimal care — or let it settle into the elegant silver patina the wood is loved for. Jensen Outdoor sources every piece from sustainably managed, dry tropical forests in Bolivia, so a chair made to last a lifetime is also kind to the forests behind it. Pair a few with any Ipe dining table from Jensen Outdoor and you’ve built a setting your family will gather around for years.

Buy it once. Stay at the table longer.

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 protect 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. 

Protecting New and Newly Cleaned Ipe Furniture:

• In a ventilated area, apply Wood Shield to all clean Ipe surfaces to further protect against water and food stains, then enjoy your new set outside.

As Needed Cleaning Instructions:

• Wash your Ipe wood surfaces with a soft towel and mild dish soap, then rinse clean with water. Once complete, allow to dry.

Restore The Deep Chocolate-Brown ‘As New’ Finish:

Ipe naturally develops an elegant silver patina over time when exposed to the elements. To restore the ‘as new’ chocolate brown finish of Ipe wood, follow our simple color-restoration process:

1. To prepare Ipe for a UV-protective coat of Penofin^® Verde Oil Finish, use Penofin^® Pro-Tech Wood Cleaner to remove surface dirt, then rinse off with water.
2. To brighten and re-establish the pH balance of Ipe wood to best accept the Penofin^® Verde Oil Finish, use Penofin^® Pro-Tech Wood Brightener, then rinse off with water and allow to dry completely.
3. Apply Penofin^® Verde Oil Finish as directed on the can, letting it penetrate for 30 minutes.
4. To remove excess oil finish that hasn’t been absorbed by the wood, rub the Ipe surface with smooth rags until dry to the touch. IMPORTANT: Dispose of rags in a metal bucket of water to avoid spontaneous combustion.
5. After completely dry, apply Wood Shield to timber to provide additional protection against water and food stains.
