Epicinterlock - i have built a couple of that style seat wall and i wasn't too confident that the block would not shift with just adhesive so i did the following (will seem that it is overkill but makes me sleep easier at night. lol).

what i did was i used the "versa tuff" pins that come with versa lok retaining wall systems. i drilled a hole in the lower horizontally laid block and a correspoding hole on the underside of each freestanding block...then put a dab of adhesive in each hole and anchored the blocks together with a pin in the hole. i also used adhesive normally as an added measure.

in print it sounds complicated and a big time waster...but with the right hammer drill it takes no time at all and really makes you confident that this style of seat wall will last.
