Quality
This shield has a built-in voltage regulator and it does a good job keeping the power supply consistent.
The l293d motor driver chip is known for controlling dc motors effectively, and this shield made it easily accessible.
Some of the connectors could have been soldered a little better (sitting a little tilted) but otherwise no serious complaints.
It is not the prettiest, but this board is handing things well and i have had no issues.

It came with some prebent pins

Given the way it was packaged i think the pins were bent before it was boxed for shipping

It was a little 34buzzy34 the frequency used for the pwm control caused the motor to hum a fair bit but this is probably a code issue rather than a hardware issue since i think the pwm control is delivered via the di pins from the arduino and it just passes that control signal along to the end device

At some point i may poke in to the library i was using and see if i can up the frequency to eliminate the buzz

Otherwise it seems like a fairly solid product
