We have a counter height that came with 6 chairs and is 54" square when extended. (The center folds underneath to make it rectangular, but we usually leave it extended because the dining room is almost square, and we don't need or use the resulting extra floor space.) We picked up an extra 2 chairs about a year later just in case, but we have only had to use them a handful of times in the 15 years we have owned it, and 8 chairs is a pretty tight fit anyway.
It's worked well for our family of 3, though. The only "incident" we had was one of my nephews (maybe 4 or 5 at the time) falling while getting out of the chair because he was used to standard height tables, and expected the floor to be much nearer than it was. Our own 5-year-old has never had any such problems since he has grown up with it.
