Top-grain hide is cut and built by hand, so allow roughly ±2cm.

Materials & make

Hide sourced from Australia, Brazil and Argentina, hand-cut and set over a kiln-dried hardwood frame. The same leather covers every surface of the piece, front and back. Built to patina and to last.

The frame. Solid hardwood, mortise-and-tenon joints with corner blocks, kiln-dried to 8 to 12 per cent moisture before a single cut.

Seat suspension. Serpentine sinuous springs across the seat base, over a non-woven fabric support, under high-resilience seat foam at 35 to 40kg per cubic metre. It is the arrangement that keeps a seat stable and holds its shape over years rather than seasons.

Warranty & delivery

3-year warranty on every piece, covering the frame and workmanship.

Commissioned to order, approximately 12 to 14 weeks to build. Delivered Australia-wide.

Frequently asked

Who is Rumpus?

Rumpus is the leather-furniture house of A Man & His Cave, an Australian business established in 2020. Six years on, we design and commission top-grain leather lounges and chairs, built to order and backed by Australian support experts who know this range inside out.

Is my piece covered by warranty?

Yes. Every Rumpus piece carries a 3-year warranty covering the frame and workmanship.

Can I get a custom size?

Catalogue pieces are built on fixed tooling, so the dimensions listed are the dimensions of the piece. A custom size is a one-off design build with a design fee from $800, priced per piece. Call us on +61 2 7248 6718 for an exact number.

Are these made to order?

Yes. Each piece is commissioned in the hide you choose and built for your room, roughly 12 to 14 weeks from order.

Can I see the leather before I buy?

Book a call and a specialist will walk you through how each hide looks and wears, and can send photographs of the exact leather in natural light.

Where do you deliver?

Australia-wide. Pop your postcode into the delivery estimate above for a rate on this piece.

How do I care for top-grain leather?

Wipe with a dry cloth, condition it every few months and keep it out of direct sun. Top-grain hide is meant to patina and only gets better with age.

How the Drover is made

Built the long way

Top-grain hide on a hardwood frame. Seams stitched by hand, brass set one stud at a time, then oiled back to a sheen.

Nothing about it is quick. That is rather the point.

  1. Blake K.
    Camberwell, VIC · Chestnut hide

    Genuinely impressed. The seat is deep enough to actually lie on. It is in the living room and every visitor comments on it. We bought it for the office and it takes daily traffic without showing it. Delivery was on the day they said. It is a more upright sit than it looks.

  2. Simon G.Verified owner
    Hackett, ACT · Chestnut hide

    Very good chair. The track arm is narrower than a rolled arm so you can't perch on it or throw a leg over. Obvious in hindsight, worth saying.

  3. Wayne A.Verified owner
    Whyalla, SA · Chestnut hide

    Really happy with it. No buttons, no fuss, it just does the job. We replaced a ten year old lounge and the difference is night and day. Bought it for my husband and he has not sat anywhere else since. No regrets.

  4. Angus B.Verified owner
    Scone, NSW · Chestnut hide

    Track arms, no buttons, vintage cognac. It's a quieter chair than the chesterfields and I wanted quiet. Beautifully made.

  5. Alan C.Verified owner
    Bondi, NSW · Caramel hide

    Ten out of ten from us. Nothing creaks, which was the thing that put me off the cheaper ones. Took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted.

  6. Rachel A.Verified owner
    Blacktown, NSW · Chestnut hide

    Delighted with it. The crew rang the day before to confirm, which I appreciated.

  7. Lisa P.Verified owner
    Warrnambool, VIC · Vintage Tan hide

    Bought it for the nursery and it's been the best decision of the whole pregnancy. Easy to wipe, easy to get out of at 3am.

  8. Josh F.Verified owner
    Kingston, TAS · Dark Chocolate hide

    Could not be happier. Would buy again.

  9. Duong McD.Verified owner
    Launceston, TAS · Chestnut hide

    Very beautiful piece. The clean lines is very neat. My family is very happy. Thank you to the team.

  10. Sharon G.Verified owner
    Mandurah, WA · Dark Chocolate hide

    Very pleased. The seams are done properly, I checked them first.

  11. Rebecca M.Verified owner
    Castlemaine, VIC · Vintage Tan hide

    The straight arm is such a clean look. Suits our 1890s cottage far better than something fussier would.

  12. Anna M.Verified owner
    Cairns, QLD · Chestnut hide

    Absolutely thrilled. It does not date the way a fussier piece would. Money well spent. I compared this against the big chains before ordering and there is not much at the price that competes on hide quality.

  13. Mei-Ling T.Verified owner
    Balwyn North, VIC · Walnut hide

    Exactly what we wanted. It is in the front room and it anchors the whole space.

  16. Michelle K.Verified owner

    A lovely thing. The colour is richer in person than any photo manages. Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it.

  17. Kev D.Verified owner
    Katanning, WA · Chestnut hide

    Good chair. Comfortable. Sits by the fire and thats where I am most nights now.

  31. Chloe K.Verified owner

    Very good buy. You can knock the frame and hear that it is hardwood. It was a 60th present and he still talks about it. The cushions need squaring up every couple of days.
