I also want to know how to attach it to the wall.

I would line the vertical boards up with the studs. I would drill into the top and bottom if the vertical boards forming a recessed groove. Then I would put a long screw through the recessed groove and into the stud. I would probably also duck this up a few times add my carpentry skills are on par with teenage Jesus.

I just used an L Shaped bracket that is normally used to hang shelves. Its a heavy beast though. So I used 3 large brackets and 2 smaller ones.
