Want one of these for the office. Are the peg heads large enough to fit little photos of my co-workers?

That's hilarious! Peg heads are just barely an inch or so. I think they would need to be very small photos.

what is the age recommendation?

I allow ages 2 and up; however, to prevent the really young ones from smacking each other over the head with the mallet, I drilled a hole in the handle of the mallet and in the corner of the table and attached a string just long enough to reach the pegs. That is something the designer should have thought of.

Why is this toy listed in the 12-18 month category, but there is a huge warning saying it's not meant for kids under 3 years??

I have no idea- I bought this toy for my 12 month-old and she loves it!! At 15 months she is still interested in it but I think she may get bored with it by the time she's 2. Maybe the warning is because of the little hammer?
