The Sundowner is the end of the day, upholstered: honey tan top-grain hide, flared arms, and a seat that meets you halfway.
The one larrikin wink in the range, and it earns it. Commissioned in your choice of thirty hides.
Top-grain hide is cut and built by hand, so allow roughly ±2cm.
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.
3-year warranty on every piece, covering the frame and workmanship.
Commissioned to order, approximately 12 to 14 weeks to build. Delivered Australia-wide.
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.
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.

it has completely changed the room. it is softer and friendlier than the chesterfields, which suits our house

Delighted with it. Arrived without a mark on it after a long haul.

Such a warm, friendly looking chair. It's less serious than the chesterfields and that suits our house much better.
Could not be happier. The light hide warms the whole room up. Would buy again.
Best furniture purchase we have made. The seams are done properly, I checked them first. The two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick. Very happy. 🙌
Honey tan on a verandah in the late afternoon. That's the whole pitch and it delivers.
So glad we went with this one. Arrived without a mark on it after a long haul.
everything we hoped for. nothing creaks, which was the thing that put me off the cheaper ones. went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention. do it
no complaints at all. the lighter hide marks more easily than a dark one
Rapt with it. Kids on it in wet swimmers and it has been fine.
Good chair, very comfortable. The light hide does mark more easily than a dark one though. Wiped off fine but you'd want to be careful with red wine.
Very pleased. Kids on it in wet swimmers and it has been fine.
Mixed feelings on this one... The colour reads noticeably darker in the room than it did on screen... Three stars is for the whole experience, not the product.
Thanks for taking the time, and sorry it landed short of what we promised. We have changed how we confirm delivery days because of feedback like yours.
Genuinely impressed. The hide is top grain and you can see it at the cut edges. Got it for dad's 70th and he was speechless, which never happens. Very happy.
A lovely thing. The light hide warms the whole room up. It is in the living room and every visitor comments on it. The lighter hide marks more easily than a dark one.
Ten out of ten from us. The light hide warms the whole room up. Went in the rumpus room, which felt appropriate. Delivery was on the day they said. Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it.
Very comfortable and the colour is beautiful, like honey in the sun. My kids also like to sit here. Very happy with it.
The quality is very good. The honey tan is very neat. My wife is very happy with it. Thank you to the team.
Very good quality. The honey tan is very neat. My children love it. Thank you to the team.
Bought a pair for the deck room. They've faded a touch on the side nearest the window and honestly they look better for it.
good chair. honest bit of furniture. no complaints from me or the missus
Better than I expected. It has softened beautifully over the first couple of months. Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it. 🙌
Really lovely piece. Kids on it in wet swimmers and it has been fine. A retirement present to ourselves and worth every dollar. Worth the wait.
Chuffed with it. The frame does not move at all when you get in and out. Bought a pair for the barber shop, clients ask about them constantly. The crew rang the day before to confirm, which I appreciated.
Absolutely thrilled. The feet are solid timber, not plastic caps.
Very pleased. Bought it for the man cave and it has not disappointed. Money well spent.
Solid, comfortable, good price for what it is. Would recommend.
everything we hoped for. kids on it in wet swimmers and it has been fine. cannot fault it
Very good buy. Bought it for my wife and she has claimed it entirely. There is already a slight sheen where we sit, though I like that.
Good quality and good price. The honey tan is very neat. We use it every day. I am very satisfied.
Good quality and good price. The honey tan is very neat. My children love it. I am very satisfied.
Very beautiful piece. Very comfortable for sitting long time. My family is very happy. Delivery was on time, thank you.
Could not be happier. It is in the front room and it anchors the whole space.
Really happy with it. It is softer and friendlier than the chesterfields, which suits our house. It was a 60th present and he still talks about it. Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it.
Delighted with it. It is softer and friendlier than the chesterfields, which suits our house.
genuinely impressed. the leather has already started to patina on the arms. worth the wait
Really lovely piece. It is softer and friendlier than the chesterfields, which suits our house. We got it for the holiday house and it has taken a season of guests. There is already a slight sheen where we sit, though I like that.
Best furniture purchase we have made. The light hide warms the whole room up. Arrived without a mark on it after a long haul. Very happy.
Worth every cent. The colour is richer in person than any photo manages. They took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does. I compared this against the big chains before ordering and there is not much at the price that competes on hide quality.
A lovely thing. The two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick.
