Default skilsaw table saw - any good?

Today I bought 2 saws. The first because I really needed it. Well
researched and exactly what I wanted. A Makita 10 inch sliding
Compound miter. The second saw was an impuls buy which I NEVER do, but
this time I just couldn't resist the price. Now I wonder if I'll be
bringing it back. It was a Skilsaw brand 10 inch bench top table saw.
Normally wouldn't look at such a thing, but last night I had to do
something and wished I had a table saw. Not willing to spend lots of $
for a good one (I'm generally not a woodworker, but I'm trimming out
my house right now, hence the miter saw). I was enamored by the price.
10 inch, 15 amp, cast alluminum table. Fence, miter, table extension
and slidinr rear extension and leg set and carbide blade. Price $99
minus a 10% coupon I had = $90.

Problem is, I don't buy many woodworking tools, but in general every
tool I buy (mostly hand tools) is absolutely high end. Will this thing
dissapoint. Not looking to make furniture here, but will probably use
it as a construction tool for home projects.
