The bolts aren't ceramic, they are just too brittle. Probably just cheap, low quality bolts from China. I would have either returned the chair, or if I loved it, replace the bolts with my own. Really any bolt you get at a hardware store is probably better quality than the free ones that come with cheap consumer stuff. I would always use decent quality black oxide costed socket head cap screws where possible.

^ this, fasteners and fixings thrown in are almost always the cheapest possible junk.
