Dan Corrigan put this board through a lot and it held up pretty well. John bratford even ollied a 14 stair with it. Similar to all of these cheap completes the trucks don't turn well but maybe you can fix it with better bushings. [VIDEO] [VIDEO]

For that low of a budget, not a great look. However, for ~$10 more you could get Braille's walmart board, which is allegedly decent. Far better than the other git garbage walmart sells, I mean hell it has metal trucks instead of plastic. I haven't ridden one myseld but this vid suggests they're decent. [VIDEO]

Also if OP lives in the US, I have heard good things about the braille complete at wallmart, I think it's like $40 and is a decent beginner board for the price based on the reviews I've seen. It's not your typical wallmart board, they preach just trying to get people into skateboarding so it sounds like they are not trying to make a quick buck off it. video review [VIDEO]

Traditionally you avoid Walmart but this is apparently the anti Walmart Walmart board. For the price and reviews it could be worth a shot. [LINK] [VIDEO]

I think Braille made a $30 board that's sold at Walmart, Dan Corrigan made a video about it. Conclusion was that it was actually skatable for a beginner. [VIDEO]
