You might want to consider an old standby of mine: iron-on wood veneer edge trim. It's easy to work with, available in a variety of woods, and gives a very nice finished appearance. I've used it on many plywood projects over the years and have always been pleased with the results.

Three months later, I finally finished (almost) my under-the-dinette-bench storage. Sometimes life gets in the way.

As you can see from the second pic, my cuts are horrendous. My cutting positions were too awkward for me. I used a combination of a small plunge cut circular saw and a jigsaw.  Luckily, the framing pieces cover the worst of it.

I still plan to put a light colored poly stain on the frame. I'm also thinking of using a slightly darker stain on the inside areas behind the frame to make any visible ragged cuts less visible.

I've added a motion-activated light so I can see better when I'm rummaging around. I use open tool kits because sometimes I can just grab what I need from the top or sides of the kits.

Thank you, everyone, for your inspiration!
