Yeah, I like this idea.

I agree, very simple.

I'll just stain the plywood and save myself the trouble of laying tiles.

I'm less sure about the stain though. And I see a problem with
the original vinyl tile approach too -- dirt gets trapped in
the joint lines.

I picked up some scrap sheet vinyl flooring for a few bucks
and used that to line a couple of kitchen cupboards -- one
under the sink and the other under the stove (pan storage).
It worked great.

Oh, I also sealed the corners to prevent dirt becomming
trapped there, using clear silicone caulk.
