English translation:Height

Explanation:
This looks like it is describing an area of measurement rather than using the term as a name for a part or piece of furnishing.

Rialzo can be translated in various ways, but in this context where furniture is concerned, it often indicates height. Website shows this:

I would think "angolo" is talking about a corner here, rather than an angle. It is maybe describing a "corner shelf" or a "corner cabinet". In any case, how "height" translates into the rest of the context is difficult to say with so little information about the article being described. (It could be "Height from top corner" but that is a stab in the dark so if asker could give more context might be able to help).

My sample sentences show a "shelf" and a "cabinet", however the use of "top" might indicate a table top or shelf but again, wold need more context.
