Cupboard floor

Looking at the two cupboards below the sink/hob, especially the right one. I find that the plastic cap to the floor cut-out and the black bung are an impediment to smoothly taking a storage box in and out. Any obvious downside to removing the caps and adding a thin plywood floor? I thought about leaving the caps and cutting the plywood around them, but I don’t see an advantage. The plywood will be removable anyway for access to voids.

The large disk covers access to a multiconnector connecting control panel to kitchen unit electrics not sure about the black bung. Yes they could be removed and covered with plywood. I would suggest plywood with a slot covering the 2 covers to avoid losing them when removed.

We just put a B&Q carpet tile in our cupboards. Stops things sliding and rattling and also allows things to be slid in and out easily. You would need to cut them to size.

I do like the idea of carpet tile, but plywood is what I had available. It will scuff up in use, but better than ramming a box into the plastic caps
