The Italian bench reminds me of one designed by the father of a piano student here - and I assume he never managed to do anything with it since it has been several years now. This one is adjustable manually, via the "plungers" (spring loaded) on the sides, which have a pin that inserts into one of the holes in the legs. It actually works quite fast and efficiently for adjustment, just pull out and raise or lower, then let go as the pins go into their holes. The range is enormous (can be made lower by adding more holes, or higher using a longer "leg"). He just fabricated it from stock aluminum.
