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 Tanner 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.

    Brunswick, VIC · Chestnut hide

    Genuinely impressed. The proportions are right, it does not look bulky for its size.

    So glad my wife and I went with this one. We replaced a ten year old lounge and the difference is night and day. They took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does.

  3. Marion J.Verified owner
    Bondi, NSW · Chestnut hide

    It has completely changed the room. The feet are solid timber, not plastic caps. It went in the extension and it finally made that room feel finished.

  4. Maddie V.Verified owner
    Blacktown, NSW · Dark Chocolate hide

    Really lovely piece. Went in the rumpus room, which felt appropriate.

  5. Priya D.Verified owner
    Norwest, NSW · Golden Tan hide

    Perfect chair for our study. Not too bulky, very comfortable, and the tan is warm without being orange.

  6. Dan H.
    Wembley, WA · Chestnut hide

    Great chair. Ordered a second one a month later.

  7. Geoff D.Verified owner
    Darwin, NT · Dark Chocolate hide

    Really lovely piece. Bought it for the man cave and it has not disappointed. Delivery was on the day they said.

  8. Will M.Verified owner
    Hawthorn East, VIC · Caramel hide

    Clean, low, modern. Sits beautifully and the tan hide is soft straight out of the box rather than needing months to break in.

  9. Stavros Q.
    Belconnen, ACT · Espresso hide

    Very beautiful piece. The clean lines is very neat. My children love it. Delivery was on time, thank you.

  10. Kate E.
    Modbury, SA · Dark Chocolate hide

    Rapt with it. The cushions have held their shape completely.

  11. Ali Z.Verified owner
    Frankston, VIC · Charcoal hide

    The quality is very good. The clean lines is very neat. All my relatives ask where I buy it. Thank you to the team.

  12. Nicole B.Verified owner
    Geelong, VIC · Espresso hide

    Very pleased. It does not date the way a fussier piece would. We put it in the media room and nobody sits anywhere else now. Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it. Worth the wait.

  13. Fiona H.Verified owner
    Scarborough, WA · Dark Chocolate hide

    Ten out of ten from us. The cushions need squaring up every couple of days. Recommend without hesitation. I compared this against the big chains before ordering and there is not much at the price that competes on hide quality.

  14. Katerina M.Verified owner
    Doncaster, VIC · Caramel hide

    Very nice chair, beautiful leather. It is low, so for my mother who is 80 it is difficult to stand up. For us it is fine. Just to know before you buy.

  15. Denise F.Verified owner
    Gympie, QLD · Caramel hide

    Genuinely impressed. The stitching is straight the whole way round. They took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does. The track arm is too narrow to perch on.

  16. Marnie S.Verified owner
    Paddington, NSW · Golden Tan hide

    It's the only chair in the house that suits both the mid century sideboard and the very not-mid-century dog. Wins all round.

  17. Michelle S.Verified owner
    Applecross, WA · Caramel hide

    Better than I expected. It does not date the way a fussier piece would. Do it.

  18. Barry S.
    Kalgoorlie, WA · Dark Chocolate hide

    Better than I expected. The seams are done properly, I checked them first.

  19. Rob T.Verified owner
    Devonport, TAS · Vintage Tan hide

    Simple chair, done well. No unnecessary detail. That's why I bought it.

  20. Sharon K.Verified owner
    Rockhampton, QLD · Chestnut hide

    Could not be happier. No buttons, no fuss, it just does the job. A retirement present to ourselves and worth every dollar. Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention.

  21. Glenn M.Verified owner
    Newcastle, NSW · Caramel hide

    Really happy with it. It went in the extension and it finally made that room feel finished. It was a 60th present and he still talks about it. The twelve week wait is real, but they were upfront about it. The track arm is too narrow to perch on.

  22. Josh B.Verified owner
    Bundaberg, QLD · Espresso hide

    Chuffed with it. The frame does not move at all when you get in and out. It is in the living room and every visitor comments on it. It is in our Airbnb and has survived a hundred guests. Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention.

  23. Pam T.Verified owner
    Cairns, QLD · Chestnut hide

    Everything my wife and I hoped for. Nothing creaks, which was the thing that put me off the cheaper ones. The lead time is long, plan for it. Would recommend.

  24. Grant J.Verified owner
    Devonport, TAS · Chestnut hide

    could not be happier. the seat is deep enough to actually lie on. very happy

  25. Coral S.Verified owner
    Penrith, NSW · Chestnut hide

    So glad we went with this one. No buttons, no fuss, it just does the job.

  26. Jason L.Verified owner
    Dubbo, NSW · Charcoal hide

    Ten out of ten from us. It replaced a fabric one that had gone shapeless. A retirement present to ourselves and worth every dollar. Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it. Would recommend.

  27. Abby J.Verified owner
    Rockhampton, QLD · Dark Chocolate hide

    Very good buy... It feels like it was built by someone who cared... Went in without a scratch on the walls, which given the size deserves a mention... Took about thirteen weeks, which is what they quoted... It is a more upright sit than it looks... Worth the wait.

  28. Coral T.Verified owner
    Mackay, QLD · Chestnut hide

    Exactly what my wife and I wanted. Went in the rumpus room, which felt appropriate. They took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does. Would buy again.

  29. Neville K.Verified owner
    Bunbury, WA · Chestnut hide

    No complaints at all. Do it.

  30. Vicki C.Verified owner
    Townsville, QLD · Chestnut hide

    Exactly what we wanted. The seat is deep enough to actually lie on. Delivery was on the day they said.

  31. Julie L.Verified owner
    Townsville, QLD · Dark Chocolate hide

    Delighted with it. The colour is richer in person than any photo manages.

  32. Sam G.Verified owner
    Geelong, VIC · Chestnut hide

    Best furniture purchase we have made. No buttons, no fuss, it just does the job. We replaced a ten year old lounge and the difference is night and day. Nothing to complain about.

  33. Dianne N.Verified owner
    Glenelg, SA · Caramel hide

    Absolutely thrilled. It is a top grain hide on a clean modern shape, which is genuinely hard to find. Bought it for the granny flat and mum has claimed it permanently. Do it.

  34. Kevin P.Verified owner
    Geraldton, WA · Dark Chocolate hide

    Worth every cent. Sits in the study and it is where I end up every night. The two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick. Recommend without hesitation.

  35. Craig J.
    Manly, NSW · Dark Chocolate hide

    Really happy with it. It was a 60th present and he still talks about it.

  36. Cheryl Z.Verified owner
    Doncaster, VIC · Dark Chocolate hide

    Best furniture purchase my wife and I have made. You can knock the frame and hear that it is hardwood. Very pleased with the whole thing.

  37. Rob McD.Verified owner
    Wagga Wagga, NSW · Dark Chocolate hide

    worth every cent. we put it in the media room and nobody sits anywhere else now

  38. Rachel O.Verified owner
    Camberwell, VIC · Espresso hide

    Best furniture purchase we have made. It does not date the way a fussier piece would. We replaced a ten year old lounge and the difference is night and day. Delivery was on the day they said. Worth the wait.

  39. Casey McK.Verified owner
    Mandurah, WA · Charcoal hide

    A lovely thing. The seat is deep enough to actually lie on.
