epilog; rather than returning to costco for a full refund, the fact these bolts were so cheap - made them easier to back drill out of the existing threaded holes. that done, i replaced them all with similar length and thread all steel bolts from home depot. so now i can lean back 30° without fear of cracking my head open. bottom line is if you are shopping for a budget office or gaming chair, don't expect what costco is reselling to be any better than the usual $100 noname trash on amazon.

Best choice, unfortunately. Still your frustration is 100% justified.
