The Sundowner is the end of the day, upholstered: honey tan top-grain hide, flared arms, and a seat that meets you halfway.
Three seats, no hurry. 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.

not the experience i hoped for. delivery window was missed twice and i had to chase both times. three stars is for the whole experience, not the product

This is fair and we are not going to argue with it. We have tightened the process at our end and your feedback is the reason.
Ten out of ten from us. A retirement present to ourselves and worth every dollar. Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention. The lighter hide marks more easily than a dark one.

Everything my wife and I hoped for. The back is finished as well as the front, which matters if it floats in a room. It went in the extension and it finally made that room feel finished. Took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted.
Worth every cent. It is by the fire and that corner is now the best seat in the house.
The honey tan against green walls is a very good combination. Beautifully made too, all the seams are straight.
Exactly what we wanted. It is in the front room and it anchors the whole space. It is in our Airbnb and has survived a hundred guests.
Obsessed. It's the exact colour of the sand out the front, which I did not plan but will absolutely take credit for.
Really lovely piece. It is in the front room and it anchors the whole space. We bought it for the office and it takes daily traffic without showing it.
Very pleased. The stitching is straight the whole way round. We bought it for the office and it takes daily traffic without showing it.
Genuinely impressed. It is softer and friendlier than the chesterfields, which suits our house. It is in the living room and every visitor comments on it. It was a 60th present and he still talks about it. The twelve week wait is real, but they were upfront about it.
Beautiful sofa. The lighter hide does show wear faster than a dark one — there's already a slight sheen where we sit. Some people want that patina, and I do, but not everyone will.
So glad we went with this one. Kids on it in wet swimmers and it has been fine.
Could not be happier. The light hide warms the whole room up. It replaced a fabric one that had gone shapeless. Delivery was on the day they said. There is already a slight sheen where we sit, though I like that. Nothing to complain about.
really lovely piece. it smells like a proper leather shop, which i did not expect to care about. money well spent
Genuinely impressed. We got it for the holiday house and it has taken a season of guests.
Chuffed with it. We bought it for the office and it takes daily traffic without showing it.
Absolutely thrilled. The seams are done properly, I checked them first.
We looked at the Winston and the Barrister first and both felt a bit formal for how we actually live. This one is softer in every sense, rounder arms, lighter hide, deeper seat. Kids on it with wet swimmers and it's been fine. If your house is beachy rather than clubby this is the one.
Worth every cent. Kids on it in wet swimmers and it has been fine. Cannot fault it. 😍
best furniture purchase we have made. it feels like it was built by someone who cared
Really lovely piece. The light hide warms the whole room up. Bought it for the granny flat and mum has claimed it permanently. It is in our Airbnb and has survived a hundred guests. Money well spent.
Chuffed with it. Kids on it in wet swimmers and it has been fine.
Bloody comfortable. Best couch weve had.
Absolutely thrilled. The lighter hide marks more easily than a dark one.
very pleased. the cushions have held their shape completely. it is by the fire and that corner is now the best seat in the house. went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention. waited a bit over three months and it was worth it
A lovely thing. Went in the rumpus room, which felt appropriate. Worth the wait.
Very good buy. Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention.
Exactly what we wanted. Kids on it in wet swimmers and it has been fine.
The sofa is beautiful. It arrived four days before the quoted window opened, with a call the morning of, and we were away. Our neighbour ended up taking delivery of a three seater lounge, which is a big ask of a neighbour. Early is not always better.
Jenna, that's a fair hit. Early delivery without a confirmed date is the same failure as late delivery without one, and we treat it as such now. Sorry about your neighbour, and thank them from us.
Very good sofa for family. My husband is big man and it is strong enough. Colour is very warm and nice. Thank you.
Disappointing, and I had high hopes... The piece itself is well made, the problem was getting it here... Three stars is for the whole experience, not the product.
Sorry about this one. We should have called you rather than leaving you to chase us. That is on us and it has changed.
really happy with it. the light hide warms the whole room up. it is by the fire and that corner is now the best seat in the house

Rapt with it. The twelve week wait is real, but they were upfront about it. The lighter hide marks more easily than a dark one.
Delighted with it. Bought it for the man cave and it has not disappointed. Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention. Would buy again. I compared this against the big chains before ordering and there is not much at the price that competes on hide quality.
Comfortable, roomy, well built. Sat on it every night for eight months and it's held up perfectly.
Very good quality. The honey tan is very neat. My family is very happy. Recommend.
everything we hoped for. the cushions have held their shape completely. it is in the front room and it anchors the whole space
best furniture purchase we have made. you can knock the frame and hear that it is hardwood
Really happy with it. The feet are solid timber, not plastic caps. We put it in the media room and nobody sits anywhere else now. Nothing to complain about.
The quality is very good. The leather is thick and soft. All my relatives ask where I buy it. Recommend.
Very happy. Turned up in perfect condition after a long haul out here.
rapt with it. it replaced a fabric one that had gone shapeless. the two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick. would buy again
Very nice sofa. Strong frame, you can feel it is not cheap. My children love it. Recommend.
Delighted with it... It is softer and friendlier than the chesterfields, which suits our house... It is in the living room and every visitor comments on it... Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it.
better than i expected. the frame does not move at all when you get in and out. went in the rumpus room, which felt appropriate. very pleased with the whole thing

Chuffed with it. The light hide warms the whole room up. It is in the living room and every visitor comments on it. The crew rang the day before to confirm, which I appreciated. Money well spent. 😍

very good buy. the hide is thick, not the thin stuff you get on the chain store versions. it went in the extension and it finally made that room feel finished. went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention
It has completely changed the room. Arrived without a mark on it after a long haul.
