The detail
Every dimension here is smaller than a conventional bench, and each has a consequence worth understanding before you buy.
Nine and a half inches of width is very narrow — narrower than the 11.5 to 12 inches of a competition bench and narrower than the PowerBlock PowerBench's 10.4-inch rear pad. For dumbbell pressing that is correct: your arms need to travel below torso level at the bottom of the rep, and a wide pad blocks exactly that range. For barbell benching it is less support than you want under a heavy load.
Fifteen inches of height is two inches below the competition 17. That suits shorter lifters, who can finally get their feet flat, and it puts taller lifters into a cramped position with their knees high. It also shortens the bar path slightly on any press.
At 40.5 inches long it is five to seven inches shorter than a standard bench. Enough for most people's back and head; check if you are tall.
The name is the honest description of the use case. This is a bench for a room that has to double as something else, for a small flat, or for taking somewhere — paired with a set of PowerBlocks it is a complete upper-body gym in a corner.
PowerBlock does not publish the bench weight, weight capacity, pad thickness or adjustability in the spec block on this page, though the FAQ refers to a capacity figure. Those are the four things worth knowing before you press on it, so ask PowerBlock directly. Treat the missing capacity in particular as a reason to confirm rather than assume.
