Low or short?

We use low for things which are not high, or which are close to the ground or to the bottom of something:

We have a sofa, two armchairs and a low table.

The wall is too low; we need to make it higher so the dog can’t get out.

Warning:

We use short, not low, to describe people’s height:

Joseph is quite short but his brothers are both really tall.

Not: Joseph is quite low …
