The Tanner is cut generously and stitched honestly: oversized slab cushions in tan top-grain hide, with the seams worn on the outside like a maker's signature.
Two and a half seats, with room to stretch out properly. 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.

Rapt with it. Bought it for the man cave and it has not disappointed.

Lovely sofa. The tan is lighter in person than on screen, which I actually prefer, but if you were expecting a deep caramel you might not.

Genuinely impressed. Bought a pair for the barber shop, clients ask about them constantly. Arrived without a mark on it after a long haul.
Very good quality. The leather is thick and soft. My family is very happy. I am very satisfied.
No complaints at all. No buttons, no fuss, it just does the job.
Could not be happier. Bought it for the man cave and it has not disappointed. We bought it for the office and it takes daily traffic without showing it. Waited a bit over three months and it was worth it.
Delighted with it. It is in our Airbnb and has survived a hundred guests. The lead time is long, plan for it.
Really happy with it. No regrets.
Exactly what we wanted. You can knock the frame and hear that it is hardwood. 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 does not date the way a fussier piece would. Bought it for my wife and she has claimed it entirely.
Could not be happier. The frame does not move at all when you get in and out. Went in the rumpus room, which felt appropriate. We bought it for the office and it takes daily traffic without showing it. The twelve week wait is real, but they were upfront about it.
A two seater is too small for a nap and a three seater wouldn't fit. This is the in-between and more places should make it. I'm six foot two and I can lie down on it with my knees slightly bent, which is all I wanted.
Very good buy. It has softened beautifully over the first couple of months. It was a 60th present and he still talks about it. Delivery was on the day they said. The lead time is long, plan for it.
worth every cent. it is heavy in the way good furniture is heavy. we got it for the holiday house and it has taken a season of guests. they took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does. the twelve week wait is real, but they were upfront about it. would recommend
chuffed with it. it is the first sofa we have owned that looks better than the day it arrived. waited a bit over three months and it was worth it. would buy again
Absolutely thrilled. It does not date the way a fussier piece would. Delivery was on the day they said.
Beautiful and the perfect size for our lounge. Delivery was smooth and on the day they said.
Really lovely piece. The seat is deep enough to actually lie on. Bought it for the granny flat and mum has claimed it permanently. It is in our Airbnb and has survived a hundred guests. Would buy again.
better than i expected. no buttons, no fuss, it just does the job. it is in the front room and it anchors the whole space. they took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does. would buy again
Really happy with it. No buttons, no fuss, it just does the job. Cannot fault it.
Very good buy. It is a top grain hide on a clean modern shape, which is genuinely hard to find. We bought it for the office and it takes daily traffic without showing it. Cannot fault it.
Solid, comfy, looks great. No notes.
Very comfortable and good size for small room. The leather is soft and good quality. We are very happy, thank you.
Best furniture purchase we have made. The twelve week wait is real, but they were upfront about it.
So pleased. It's the sofa the whole family ends up on despite there being a bigger one in the next room.
Ten out of ten from us. The hide is thick, not the thin stuff you get on the chain store versions.
Delighted with it. The cushions have held their shape completely.
So glad we went with this one. It does not date the way a fussier piece would. Bought it for the granny flat and mum has claimed it permanently. Would buy again.
very pleased. it feels like it was built by someone who cared. it is by the fire and that corner is now the best seat in the house. waited a bit over three months and it was worth it
Really lovely piece. The seat is deep enough to actually lie on. Went in the rumpus room, which felt appropriate.
It has completely changed the room. We put it in the media room and nobody sits anywhere else now.
Ten out of ten from us. No buttons, no fuss, it just does the job. Do it. I compared this against the big chains before ordering and there is not much at the price that competes on hide quality.
No complaints at all. It is in the living room and every visitor comments on it.
exactly what we wanted. it is a top grain hide on a clean modern shape, which is genuinely hard to find. it is by the fire and that corner is now the best seat in the house. the two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick
Everything we hoped for. The seat is deep enough to actually lie on. Worth the wait.
a lovely thing. the stitching is straight the whole way round. it replaced a fabric one that had gone shapeless. they took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does
not the experience i hoped for. quality is not in question, the communication was. get the swatch book before you order, learn from me

Better than I expected. The seat is deep enough to actually lie on. The track arm is too narrow to perch on. Would recommend.
