You don't really expect much at $50, but I was a little surprised that Adorama would house-brand such a poor quality product. I've bought other house-branded products from them like their lighting kits that were great.
It has great reviews and sound. I left some links on the last deal post about it. When mine arrives I will report more.
I did see some reports about limited build quality concerns on the Boroughs; that I could have bought for just $46. I did like the head stock shape on the Boroughs; but the MP was fine. I went with the solid top $60 MP and their good return policy; should there be any a problem with the guitar.

Other guitar quality and your choices are best considered apart from setup; because a great guitar may need setup or get fret spout when new.
And just to be clear; the lowest cost guitars are typically coming with better mid level setup than expensive guitars (new specifically, with the setup level not specified).
Keep in mind the Monoprice DLX models (several "DNA" style types) go on sale for $120 with typically comparable matching high cost materials(Ash etc..not necessarily better) and also are STATED to be setup by a pro. if that's what you need, and remember they weight more.
I'd watch eBay and finish polishing my own frets for the win. You do not have to do that. Just remember; setup is not the guitars quality. Unless it can't be setup well. Send those back. If a $10 nut (Or you prefer a TUISQ nut anyway) and that's the only issue (for setup in balance) then it's your call. Because it's low cost and you could still have the best total value. And it's your option to return it for any reason, with an honest seller.
And errors occasionally happen for any price level, per each guitar.
Research seller policy, setup promised (separately) and all the product details first. Because you only want to send things back when they need to go back. And never keep anything needing to go back.
I much prefer playing solid top or all solid acoustics, but I did have one laminate that sounded really good. Kind of regret giving it away. It was an Ibanez performance model dreadnought.

It may be higher now as I think the classic version is $50 something now. Check codes and maybe a year end sale $65 or less will come again. Prices may fall 🍂🍁.
