The chair seat of claim 1 further including at least one bearing bracket that supports said bearing, one of said bearing and said bearing bracket including a flexible tab which selectively fits into a corresponding recess defined on the other of said bearing and said bearing bracket such that said flexible tab secures said bearing and said bearing bracket together. 9. The chair seat of claim 8 further including a base to which said at least one bearing bracket is fixedly attached. 10. The chair seat of claim 8 wherein said bearing bracket and said bucket are made of plastic. 11. The chair seat of claim 10 wherein said bearing bracket includes a stop that contacts a stop surface on said bucket, said stop preventing said chair seat from rotating past said forward position. 12. The chair seat of claim 1 wherein said bearing block is attached to said bucket without the use of welding or separate fasteners. 13. The chair seat of claim 1 wherein said spring assembly includes a static cam, a dynamic cam, and a spring; said spring exerting a linear force against said dynamic cam and said static cam, said static and dynamic cams converting said linear force to a rotational force that biases said bucket toward said rest position. 14. The chair seat of claim 13 wherein said spring also exerts a torsional force against said bucket when said bucket is moved out of said rest position, said torsional force biasing said bucket toward said rest position. 15. The chair seat of claim 14 wherein said static and dynamic cams are both secured to said chair seat without welding or the use of separate fasteners. 16. The chair seat of claim 15 further including a spring sleeve which surrounds said spring, said spring sleeve securing a first end of said spring to said chair seat, said spring sleeve being attached to said static cam via a snap fit. 17. The chair seat of claim 14 wherein said static and dynamic cams are both made of plastic. 18. The chair seat of claim 1 wherein said bucket is made of plastic and includes a top side and an underside, said underside defining a recess adapted to receive a wood veneer. 19. A chair seat comprising: a right bracket and a left bracket adapted to be attached to at least one base; a right bearing and a left bearing, said right bearing attached to said right bracket, said left bearing attached to said left bracket, said right and left bearings both being made of plastic; a plastic seat bucket having a right aperture and a left aperture for recent said right and left bearings respectively, said plastic seat bucket being rotatable about said right and left bearings from an upright position to a forward position, said seat bucket including right and left seat stops integrally molded into said seat bucket, said right and left brackets each including bracket stops integrally molded into said right and left brackets, said bracket stops contacting said seat stops and stopping the seat bucket when the seat bucket is rotated to a forward position; and a spring mechanism which resists rotation of said seat bucket to said forward position such that said seat bucket will rotate out of said forward position when a user exits the chair seat. 20. The chair seat of claim 19 wherein one of said right bearing and right bracket includes a flexible tab and the other of said right bearing and right bracket includes a recess dimensioned to receive said tab whereby said right bearing and said right bracket are secured together via said flexible tab and recess without the use of welding or separate fasteners. 21. The chair seat of claim 20 wherein one of said left bearing and left bracket includes a flexible tab and the other of said left bearing and left bracket incl udes a recess dimensioned to receive said tab whereby said left bearing and said left bracket are secured together via said flexible tab and recess without the use of welding or separate fasteners. 22. The chair seat of claim 19 further including a substrate adapted to have upholstery attached thereto, one of said substrate and said bucket including a plurality of flexible tabs and the other of said substrate and said bucket including a plurality of recesses adapt ed to receive said flexible tabs, said substrate and said bucket being secured together via said flexible tabs and recesses without the use of welding or separate fasteners. 23. The chair seat of claim 22 said substrate further includes: at least one serpentine spring having a first and a second end; at least two notches defined in said substrate which receive said first and second ends of said at least one serpentine spring, said notches securing said at least one serpentine spring to said substrate without the use of welding or separate fasteners. 24. The chair seat of claim 23 wherein one of said bucket and said substrate include an alignment rib and the other of said bucket and said substrate include an alignment notch which receives at least a portion of said alignment rib when said bucket is secured to said substrate. 25. The chair seat of claim 19 wherein said spring mechanism includes a spring that exerts both a linear and a torsional force when said seat bucket is moved out of a rest position, both said linear and torsional forces biasing said seat bucket toward the rest position. 26. A. The chair seat of claim 25 further including: a static cam; a dynamic cam; and a spring sleeve, said spring sleeve surrounding said spring and dynamic cam, said spring sleeve attached to said static cam via a flexible tab and recess, one of said flexible tab and recess defined on said static cam and the other of said flexible tab and recess defined on said spring sleeve. 27. The chair seat of claim 19 further including a right bearing block and a left bearing block, said right bearing block positioned in said right aperture of said seat bucket, said left bearing block positioned in said left aperture of said seat bucket, said right bearing block defining an aperture through which said right bearing passes, said left bearing block defining an aperture through which said left bearing passes, said right bearing block rotatably secured to said right bearing via a flexible tab that snap fits said right bearing block to said right bearing, said left bearing block rotatably secured to said left bearing via a flexible tab that snap fits said left bearing block to said left bearing. 28. The chair seat of claim 19 wherein said right and left bracket are made of a glass filled thermoplastic. 29. The chair seat of claim 28 wherein said bucket is made of a glass filled thermoplastic.
