Dwarves are not small in the first place anyway. Small races are below 1,20m tall. Dwarves are around 1,30-1,50m tall. They are short, but not small.
In comparison, humans are only 10-30cm taller on average with their 1,60-1,80m heights.
They may appear smaller because they are stockier and wider. So unless you see them next to a human, you won’t realize they are only about a head or so sorter.

You’re probably right. I’ve never seen them next to a human before.
