This is a household stepstool. My question is: The steel tubing is obviously not 90 cm thick. Given this, what does "espessura" mean in this context?

Coiloca-se "thick" após a espessura. No caso, 90cm thick.

  -> Thanks., Jorge Rodrigues!

disagree  Jennifer Levey: Makes no sense in Asker's context. That thickness is bigger than the entire height of the step-stool.
