#1 Wall mounted EKET cube nightstand
The first is to wall mount the cube next to the bed, as per the inspiration photo. IKEA also recommends it.

If you find the cube too large for small bedside items, add a shelf across it. We have a hack for this.
IKEA has also introduced drawers for the EKET. So that’s a nice option if you prefer closed storage.

Awesome. Let’s get to the next method.
#2 With feet or wheels
IKEA sells an underframe and metal legs to match the EKET range.

Or attach any other legs you fancy. Like this one with hairpin legs.
#3 Double it up
If the cube is too small, the EKET comes in a larger version. Like this by @mister_univers. Lovely with hairpin legs and a splash of paint on the drawer fronts.
#4 Drop down door
Just a reorientation of the EKET cabinet with door and voilà, cute side table and cabinet. Linda & Louise painted the EKET and pasted vintage wallpaper on the cabinet front and insides. See more on Pretty Pegs.
