I love the fact that Lasko has decided to own this concept with box fan designed specifically for this setup. It looks much better than a filter taped to the outside of the fan. Maybe this would help with your decor vs cleaner air conundrum?

It was sub $50 a few weeks ago and comes with a Merv 10 filter. You can always buy the heavy duty Lasko 20 x 20 for sub $30 and stick a MERV 13 Filter behind it when it's on. The suction keeps the filter pinned to the back and you get HEPA with VOC removal.

I bought one of these, and have been happy with mine. I use a #10 filter in it. I have not needed mine for forest fire smoke (I know these higher rated ones are rated for smoke), but it has been amazing with pulling fine particulate matter from collecting (baking soda, mica, etc).
This simplifies the taping/untaping, but before this purchase I did the tape method too. I was about to look for some aluminium channel to build a frame for the filter, but this product save me the time and hassle of that. Plus, this fan comes with a stronger motor to compensate for the filter.
