Metro Contract Group

What Metro Contract Group does

Metro Contract Group is a full-service contract furniture dealership founded in 1993 by Dwight Jackson and headquartered in Pleasanton, California. The company procures, supplies, and installs office and workplace furniture — including workstations, seating, tables, architectural walls, private office systems, storage, and accessories — sourced from more than 300 manufacturer lines, with Teknion serving as its premier partner brand. Its core technology is a cloud-based project management and scheduling platform that provides real-time lead time and delivery information across complex, multi-vendor installations where individual product lead times can range from 5 days to 40+ weeks.

Metro serves enterprise, institutional, and public-sector clients across seven primary verticals: government (local, federal, and military including the EPA, IRS, GSA, EEOC, US Courts, and the City of Oakland), sports and entertainment venues (Levi's Stadium, Chase Center, Acrisure Arena, Intuit Dome), healthcare (Kaiser Permanente, UCSF Health, VA), technology and commercial (Meta), education (UC Berkeley, Stanford, Cal State Hayward, UC Hastings), and hospitality (W-Hotels, Nobu, Jean Georges Steakhouse). Notable projects include furnishing Chase Center with approximately 20,000 furniture pieces (achieving LEED Gold certification), coordinating 55 vendors and 150 trailers over a 90-day installation at Levi's Stadium, and delivering a 220,000 sq ft BART headquarters buildout with 900 Teknion workstations.

The business model is a hybrid of one-time product resale and professional services revenue: Metro earns on furniture sales plus installation, project management, space planning, custom furniture design, and post-installation maintenance. Pricing is custom quote-based with multi-year contract cadences and is not publicly disclosed. The company operates an enterprise field sales motion targeting large-scale projects, supplemented by a direct-to-consumer sub-brand, Metro@Home, serving hybrid and work-from-home customers. Metro is certified as an MBE, DBE, and SBE through NMSDC, the California Supplier Clearinghouse, and California DGS, and self-identifies as the West Coast's largest African American owned contract furniture dealership.
