I really want to buy this. I wish I could find used pristine for like 2k. I think this isn't any better of deal than visiting with authorized dealer with HM.

I got one for 2250 in EXCELLENT shape in Georgia three years ago. It's possible. Keep checking Craigslist, FBM, etc.
If it's the same as the last Costco deals, it's model ES67071OU2109. That's standard leather ("top grain"). Retail is $6K.
IMHO their standard leather isn't great.
$4500 for only top grain leather seems a bit crazy. Top grain usually isn't that great. I think I'd pay extra for better quality leather on a chair like this.

I am familiar with the different leather types, but I don't think I've ever heard of top grain leather as being low quality.
Granted, I have not personally upholstered with either, but I always saw top grain as perfectly acceptable for any furniture when it comes to durability.

I wouldn't necessarily say it's low quality, but not as good as it could be. If I'm spending this much on a chair, I'd rather pay a bit more for the best I can get, considering it's probably a chair you'd keep for life and maybe pass on.
I need to get into the stupidly overpriced chair business.
I can't imagine what the profit margins of this product is. I bet the executives sit in a room when developing this product and go: "Can you imagine all the smooth brains that will buy this!? It's so easy to make. We can print these things out like nothing in a factory!"
