straight was never a problem with cheap bits in my opinion. Roll the bit to make sure the point is centered. - look at it from the side, you'll observe the point moves or travels horizontally and that's all. If not centered, the point appears to move up and down as it rolls. Ditch this set, it'll shake your work piece around like a cheap jalopy and it sure won't help you find the hole center.
One last comment - if you don't do a lot of drilling, consider just a quality set of 7-piece brad point set.
1/2", 7/16ths, 3/8, 5/16, 1/4, 3/16 and 1/8th inch - you can buy these for $8 to 20 bucks with silver deming (reduced shanks) above 3/8"
For the average joe, this is probably all the bit sizes needed for woodworking and takes less space - 90% of what I do I use this set I got from Delta a few years ago.
