The
bench will be anchored to the wall via lag screws and cement fasteners
for the lower foundation section supports (the lower 2 feet of the
walls are cement foundation). Some of the sections I am not sure how
to fasten yet, but am working it out. I have looked at a ton of other
designs and photos so that is a big help.

I don't know why you need all those lags on the bottom stretcher
against the wall, I don't think they will do much good. In fact, I
don't see why that bottom piece against the wall is needed at all. You
need to attach the stretcher under the bench top to the wall. A lag or
a couple of large wood screws at each stud should hold up the bench to
pretty much anything.

Also, consider not putting openings in the drawer fronts and use knobs
or handles instead. A lot of dust will get into your drawers instead
of just a bit. You need some kind of frame around the drawer sides to
attach the slides.
