It is a Franklin style stove many companies made them in the 1970s. They are just a slight step up from an open fireplace
 
Are they a low quality stove, is it good enough to use in my house? Any info you have is appreciated!
Yes very low quality. It will eat tons of wood for not much heat. And they typically are unlisted meaning huge clearance requirements and some insurance companies won't cover them.
