Morgan Pryor Morgan PryorCommerce Editorial Assistant at AT Media I've been a full-time journalist since 2023, but my experience in the field goes back further. I graduated magna cum laude from NYU's Gallatin School of Individualized Study, where I developed my own major called Culture Writing and Criticism. While working my way up to Editor-in-Chief at the school blog, I earned a number of bylines at TV Guide Magazine, CNN, Decider, and Texas Monthly.At those publications, I mostly focused on art and entertainment. However, I’ve always loved shopping, writing reviews, and service journalism — which is what led me to giving commerce writing a try as an intern at CNN Underscored. There, I had a ton of fun producing beauty and fashion shopping stories, which ended up preparing me for my work as AT's commerce editorial assistant.I’ve long been passionate about interior design and taken pride in the appearance of my space, whether it was my dorm room or my first tiny studio. Exploring that interest professionally has been a dream, and I love thinking about a product from every angle and figuring out if it's really worth it. As someone who was recently on a student budget and works with a small living space, I especially like to find and share items that are compatible with that lifestyle. In my eyes, a great product equally delivers on style and function, ideally at an affordable price point.

When you’re looking at (and thinking about) home products all day long like I am, it’s rare to come across something that surprises you. It’s even rarer for a brand to go under your radar. However, infrequent though it may be, it has been known to happen. Nathan James, for instance, is one of our more recent discoveries, with its extremely stylish pieces that barely make a dent in your wallet. Another brand you can say the same thing about? Songmics.
Admittedly, I’ve been familiar with Songmics for a minute — I tested its space-saving storage bench last winter — but I mistakenly thought that most of its home products were solution-oriented rather than focused on appearance. However, the brand has a furniture line called VASAGLE underneath it, and it includes a ton of West Elm- and Restoration-esque pieces, sans the hefty price tags. Check out some of the best Songmics pieces that combine function and style below!
