The person I spoke to at the warranty office said there wasn’t much under there but didn’t think there was room for plastic storage containers. Please advise if you’ve actually opened this area up.
For about 20 dollars on Amazon, you can buy a flexible, usb endoscope. Drill a small hole in the platform, and you can inspect the entire area under the platform. I suspect that you will find it to be pretty much empty space, except for some trash and maybe beer cans.
