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.

    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.

  3. Keith R.Verified owner
    Kingston, TAS · Espresso hide

    Genuinely impressed. Bought a pair for the barber shop, clients ask about them constantly. Arrived without a mark on it after a long haul.

  4. Nada J.Verified owner
    Buderim, QLD · Dark Chocolate hide

    Very good quality. The leather is thick and soft. My family is very happy. I am very satisfied.

  5. Patricia McD.Verified owner
    Alice Springs, NT · Espresso hide

    No complaints at all. No buttons, no fuss, it just does the job.

  6. Steph T.Verified owner
    Frankston, VIC · Espresso hide

    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.

  7. Kylie Z.
    Bulimba, QLD · Caramel hide

    Delighted with it. It is in our Airbnb and has survived a hundred guests. The lead time is long, plan for it.

  8. Vicki R.Verified owner
    Toowoomba, QLD · Espresso hide

    Really happy with it. No regrets.

  9. Kate C.
    Launceston, TAS · Charcoal hide

    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.

  10. Kylie McK.Verified owner
    Joondalup, WA · Dark Chocolate hide

    Worth every cent. It does not date the way a fussier piece would. Bought it for my wife and she has claimed it entirely.

  11. Michelle N.Verified owner
    Alice Springs, NT · Dark Chocolate hide

    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.

  12. Ollie B.Verified owner
    Brunswick East, VIC · Caramel hide

    The two-and-a-half is the smart size

    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.

  13. Carol F.Verified owner
    Newcastle, NSW · Dark Chocolate hide

    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.

  14. Troy J.Verified owner
    Geelong, VIC · Espresso hide

    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

  15. Simon C.Verified owner
    Whyalla, SA · Charcoal hide

    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

  16. Jodie B.
    Victor Harbor, SA · Dark Chocolate hide

    Absolutely thrilled. It does not date the way a fussier piece would. Delivery was on the day they said.

  17. Nat W.Verified owner
    Highgate, SA · Golden Tan hide

    Beautiful and the perfect size for our lounge. Delivery was smooth and on the day they said.

  18. Robyn R.Verified owner
    Sandy Bay, TAS · Caramel hide

    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.

  19. Stuart N.Verified owner
    Port Macquarie, NSW · Dark Chocolate hide

    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

  20. Patricia McK.Verified owner
    Mackay, QLD · Chestnut hide

    Really happy with it. No buttons, no fuss, it just does the job. Cannot fault it.

  21. Tayla E.Verified owner
    Wollongong, NSW · Charcoal hide

    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.

  22. Josh D.Verified owner
    Cannington, WA · Chestnut hide

    Solid, comfy, looks great. No notes.

  23. Ibrahim K.Verified owner
    Dandenong, VIC · Vintage Tan hide

    Very comfortable and good size for small room. The leather is soft and good quality. We are very happy, thank you.

  24. Kate L.Verified owner
    Camberwell, VIC · Espresso hide

    Best furniture purchase we have made. The twelve week wait is real, but they were upfront about it.

  25. Michelle A.Verified owner
    Bulleen, VIC · Golden Tan hide

    So pleased. It's the sofa the whole family ends up on despite there being a bigger one in the next room.

  26. Jill K.Verified owner
    Shepparton, VIC · Charcoal hide

    Ten out of ten from us. The hide is thick, not the thin stuff you get on the chain store versions.

  27. Glenn B.Verified owner
    Port Macquarie, NSW · Chestnut hide

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

  28. Melissa H.Verified owner
    Mandurah, WA · Dark Chocolate hide

    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.

  29. Simon C.Verified owner
    Devonport, TAS · Charcoal hide

    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

  30. Josh Q.
    Bulimba, QLD · Dark Chocolate hide

    Really lovely piece. The seat is deep enough to actually lie on. Went in the rumpus room, which felt appropriate.

  31. Maddie G.Verified owner
    Kingston, TAS · Charcoal hide

    It has completely changed the room. We put it in the media room and nobody sits anywhere else now.

  32. Jarrod P.Verified owner
    Berwick, VIC · Espresso hide

    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.

  33. Neville M.Verified owner
    Shepparton, VIC · Charcoal hide

    No complaints at all. It is in the living room and every visitor comments on it.

  34. Stuart F.Verified owner
    Frankston, VIC · Chestnut hide

    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

  35. Fiona M.Verified owner
    Doncaster, VIC · Caramel hide

    Everything we hoped for. The seat is deep enough to actually lie on. Worth the wait.

  36. Rob D.
    Blacktown, NSW · Espresso hide

    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

  37. Matt T.Verified owner
    Dubbo, NSW · Charcoal hide

    not the experience i hoped for. quality is not in question, the communication was. get the swatch book before you order, learn from me

  38. Tyler C.Verified owner
    Geraldton, WA · Espresso hide

    So glad we went with this one. It does not date the way a fussier piece would. It is in our Airbnb and has survived a hundred guests. The two blokes who brought it in were polite and quick.

  39. Dean M.Verified owner
    Belconnen, ACT · Charcoal hide

    it has completely changed the room. it is a top grain hide on a clean modern shape, which is genuinely hard to find. they took the packaging away with them, which not everyone does

  40. Holly M.Verified owner
    Werribee, VIC · Chestnut hide

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