My son had that same chair. There was a design flaw with the seat (something to do with how it was attached to the base). Also the arms loosened up and couldn't be tightened, which can be annoying. We replaced it with the Staples Hyken chair which has been fine so far.

I bought it for around the same price (on sale before Christmas last year and there was a promo code). The OP asked for a review of the chair and I gave it. We also went through at least three of those fake leather office chairs from Costco warehouse and they weren't built to last either. I love Costco, but not so much their office chairs.
Bought it a few months ago for a family member working from home and no complaints. I have the Staples Hyken myself, but it wasn't on sale at the time. I would have considered the IKEA one if it was on sale, but IKEA had horrendous lineups and pickups at the time. This was the best value for around $120 in-store at the time with low stress to purchase one.
IMHO, the foam seat seems to be slightly softer than much more expensive office chairs I've used, but the person using it 7+ hours per day has no complaints.
You're not going to think it's the best chair in the world, but neither will you hate it, and you've got Costco's awesome return policy.
I've been in one Costco that has signs saying display chairs were taken away because of Covid, but then went to another one where they were on display (and a shopper was sitting in one and chatting on their phone).
